I don't have the time right now to read through all of these 59 pages but appreciate that this feature suggest is here. So here are my two cents:
I really want to see the PDF handle the same as the CBR while zoomed in. The CBR feature works quite well, one can zoom in and still turn the page whilst being zoomed in by touching left or right. It makes perfect sense this way since to drag and move is not impeded. Why can't PDFs handle the same way? To turn a page whilst zoomed in on PDF you have to touch to bottom menu then the move button then navigate by sliding. This slide is not even very easy to do page by page, especially on a big pdf. It is complex and time consuming when a simple touch left or right would suffice.
My second request is about sheves. I'm sure better handling of shelves is on the way given it's a new feature. What i want to see is the ability to add books to shelves from the book menu itself. You can at this point only shortcut a book but it would be ideal to be able to place it in whatever shelf it belongs directly instead of having to navivate to shelf/edit shelf/add book then find the book! Talk about over complication and time.
Thanks for reading and i eagerly look forward to the next update!
