I mean, the purpose of your program is to view already existing images, so the "screenshot" feature is of limited use. And for the "once every 5 years" need of actually taking a screenshot, there already is a well-known procedure, which works across the entire device.

Don't get me wrong: I know it's cool to find an implement new features. But if at some point that ends up in a feature-laden applications with tons of menus and submenus for seldomly-used features, it may actually be counter-productive because it makes the application unnecessarily complex and harder to use for the end user. Just sayin'
I was thinking the same thing...

Screenshot it's just a proof of concept: looking in the waf folder led me to that message-sender command and I thought about using it to take a screenshot.
Personally, I sometimes use it, expecially in landscape mode where what's on display is a portion of the real image. I find it easier than cutting the original image.
Anyway, as it's only one button, it could be hidden in a second!

As regards the rest of the app, every day it is becoming more complex due to feature requests.
I use only the basic ones (bookmark, jump to...) but as I use this "project" to learn about kindle/html/javascript, I accept all suggestions (and it means that it is used by, at least, another fool besides me).

What I really want to implement is a basic image post processing to change lightness and contrast as I find difficoult to read colour comics.

In the end, I don't think (hope) there are any other features to add!

EDIT: I forgot to thank you! I really need someone to raise these problems as I'm still total noob!
