my paperwhite 2 pet peeves, opinions wanted

Just some initial impressions/suggestions (will avoid collections update disaster altogether):

1) does "go to" toc bother anyone else? seems like every chapter heading just fades off which is extremely annoying when trying to get to a topic in a technical book (ie, "chapter 5 migrating your windows infr..."). Seems like there has to be a way to either make the text smaller or make it pop when you press and hold...this really takes away in things like computer books, not so much for simple novel reading.

2) Collections display in cover view. Does anyone really need big rectangles that all look the same here? would it not make more sense to keep the covers of actual books showing as covers in covers view but keep the folders (collections) showing as small just like they do in list view even when in covers view? which leads to my next pet peeve.

3) why have the collections in list mode lined up on the left hand side of the screen? why not use all the screen real estate and use say three columns? Why should I have to go through 6 or 7 pages to find a collection when I could just as easily do it in 2 pages?

4) option to automatically turn off wifi after a user defined period. for example lets say I set this to an hour by default. So I browse the kindle store for 20 minutes and then forget to turn off wifi. at say 59 minutes I (if still reading) would get a message to the affect that "wifi will be disabled in 30 seconds, please click keep enabled to override this setting". This would let the user decide how long to keep wifi on by default and of course the feature could be totally disabled, or just overridden for that specific instance. would be a great battery saver in my opinion.

I have other minor issues such as burying the airplane mode in settings but that is it for now. Thoughts greatly appreciated.
