Ah so you don't like small tap targets either ey
in that case, how's the vertical popup menu coming along ?
Personally I can live with a swipe-tap, it's not an action you do everyday
There are however alternatives to adding a button or splitting rows into tapabble sections
Kris? what about right-swipe? we have left-swipe to show the book options menu but right-swipe is still unused. That would leave the tap to activate on the full row. Alternatively you also have the long-press option.
A setting to allow me to always go to the library when hitting home inside a book would be more my cup of tea, but hey, we can't have everything we want or the screen would be filled with direct access buttons (as many readers as many tastes and wishes)
