Mmmm...does the option to hide the status bar work in the PW?
Does the status bar appear when you exit Komic?
And, finally, as the PW has only one physical button, you are forced to exit Komic using the exit button, aren't you?
On the other hand, I just added a new feature:
Komic saves a bookmark if autosave is ON and you exit using the HOME button in a Kindle Touch.
