Are you saying the delay to distinguish this gesture from a tap would be too much? I don't think so, since that is already used for bookmarking, and it is not a factor of responsiveness of eInk but rather just the need to distinguish the gesture from a tap.
So you must be referring to the dragging of the book cover. But this sort of dragging is already done for pdfs, on a much larger scale (the entire page) and required much more frequently (at least twice a page while reading).
I therefore assume you strongly endorse my request to make this unnecessary by default when reading pdfs, by implementing a decent page-tap-to-advance command?
Frankly, I think dragging and dropping a book cover is really not so bad, although the command is a totally minor cosmetic one which should be way way down on the priority list.
PDF reading is CRUCIAL. Zillions and zillions of things are in pdf, pdf that cannot be converted to epub because it has headers, footers, footnotes, margin notes. I am looking into trying to automatically strip headers and footers with regularity, but handling footnotes is going to be much harder.
PDF reading. PDF reading. Its easy to radically improve this crucial feature. Please. Give me the source to nickel, I will do it for you in a day.
