Code inspector: an inspection mode with automatic refresh would be great, I'm thinking of something like Firebug's inspect mode. This expands the source code view automatically and updates whatever you have selected in the right pane (Style, computed, and so on) on mouse-over without the user having to click the element to be inspected, and re-select inspect mode for a new element. This makes it easy to compare css for different elements.

I don't think anything will change with the inspector, unless it gets changed with an upgrade of Qt. Its just a component added in to the view and not really tunable.

View Mode: A continuous reading mode would be very nice for scanning through a book, it can be cumbersome to open all files in succession. A way this might be implemented without too much changes (?) is to simply switch to the new file in the same tab if the user pages past the end or beginning of the current file. Alternatively a new tab could be opened for each file if it's not already open, and paging past the beginning of the file switches to the existing tab with the previous file. To me the former alternative seems more intuitive (and less resource-intensive). Note that I don't intend this to be a reader replacement, although it would probably work for that as well, but a quicker way of reviewing the whole book.

Automatically switching pages is probably not something we'll add as it would be too confusing. I and I'm sure others often scroll or page up/down quickly and expect to have it stop at the end of the page without having it flicking to the next page automatically. However, you can simulate this by just using Alt+PgDn to go to the next File (Windows->Next File). So just keep hitting the PgDn button to go through the file and when you hit the end, use Alt+PgDn and continue paging the next file...

Search: an option to search displayed content (as opposed to html source) would be useful. I suppose this is a rather large change, as you might have to render all html files in order to search through them? This search option should open the Book View.

Not reliable and too slow. You can Find in the current file. But everything else is in Code View. A lot of work was done to make the Find & Replace reliable with no more known crashes, so its much better. You can easily just do a search for your text and then hit F2 to toggle to Book View (or double click on the current tab header).
