Hi Marvin

I must of been away from mobileread longer than I thought. Not only has a worthy successor to a Stanza appeared, but there is a whole section dedicated to it.

I second/third/forth the call for custom colors and for textures. Isn't a color picker oe of the default iOS widgets? It's not like you'd have to code it. Or let us type in the rigb number. Believe it or not, I didn't LOVE any of the colors that I had to choose from.

Or let me load my own background image, one for each orientation. That can't be hard. Then I could just take a screenshot of the iBooks screen, photoshop out the text to make a blank. Presto, I get the skuemorphism look I prefer.

Well, you'd also want a clear background color option. If you want to get really fancy, ad a opacity slider for the interaction of the background color vs. background.

And, of course, we need these options for the three (normal, night, other)

I know...sounds ungrateful for an app that already is hyper configurable. I figure my whopping $5 purchase entitles me to hundreds of hours coding to my exact specifications
