Hi Kris,

I'm looking forward to 1.2 eagerly and keep checking the app store obsessively :-). I had a quick question. Will 1.2 feature the ability for smooth vertical scrolling or is this going to be something that may be introduced later? I think it would be fantastic to have because it is really useful when reading technical ebooks that have lots of code, etc. The page breaks are too jarring and make it hard to use Marvin for reading things such as the Java tutorials (all the trails can now be downloaded as DRM free epubs).

Also, wanted to report a "bug" of sorts at least in my view. Tapping on the left and right margins for advancing pages works well, but unfortunately, at the moment, taps at the top right and left corner are not registered (presumably due to the fact that when the menus show up, one tends to click in this region to select items). Would it be possible to allow taps in the top corners to advance pages? Often when reading, that is the natural place where one tends to tap and it is a bit frustrating to sometimes have to tap twice. For the longest time I thought there was an issue with my iPad or Marvin because it felt like page advancing was a bit hit or miss, but then I finally realized that this was the issue.

Thanks a lot!
