I would love to see an auto-scroll feature. That's what I miss the most from my days of e-reading on a Palm PDA. I don't remember which ereader app I used to use, but it had a feature to start it scrolling and adjust the speed using the volume buttons (maybe it was the up/down buttons on the front? It's been a long time) if it was getting ahead or behind where you were. I could read significantly faster with this feature as it helped me pace myself.
It took me a while to get accustomed to the "page" based approach of Kindles and other e-ink readers (even though it's closer to paper) and I still miss auto scroll many years later.
BTW, Kris... I'd been following your development of Marvin for a long time. Downloaded the iPad version when you first released it and opened it periodically just to play with it. I occasionally use it to read short form stuff when I'm stuck somewhere without my Kindle, but even though I don't use it much I want to thank you immensely for this app. My 12 year old son had forgotten his Kindle and needed to start a new book, so I got the iPod (iPhone) version of Marvin for him and he loves it. He reads quite a bit more now than he did before! While I personally prefer eInk he's just fine w/ LCD and since he always carries it he always has it with him and can pull it out to read at any time! It really is a beautiful app and if I were an LCD reader I'm sure it would be my #1 choice!
