@embryo, I also added chapter markersfor the mini bar (you can turn it on and off in defaults.lua) and added quotation marks to the default.lua comments.

Should all be in the next nightly.
That was really quick!
Thank you!

And while we're waiting for the next nightly, I could add one more suggestion.

Searching for the metadata could lead to 2 problems.
- If you don't remember the exact 'Wording - Naming' of a tag, Author, etc or,
- The tag, Author, etc, is using Unicode characters that you can not enter by the keyboard.
(I'm still trying to find where the keyboard setup is, like the kbd.txt for vlasovsoft one, but even if I do put Unicode characters in there, some of them like punctuated ones can not be easily accessed).

A solution to this could be the presentation of all the metadata the query of the 'metadata.calibre' can produce, in a form of a menu (with the actual search in a menu entry of its own), as soon as the user enters the query.
Here is a screenshot of the FBReader's Library.

This way every menu entry could be a search of its own.
E.g. if you press 'Tags' you'll presented with a sub-menu having the names of all the tags the search can find.
Pressing the 'Fantasy' sub-menu will lead you to the search results with the books having the 'Fantasy' tag.
Menus with many entries like Titles, Authors and Series could lead to a sub-menu of groups by the first letters: A - B - C ... with an easy option (maybe in a single page?) to jump to a particular letter.
The "First Letter Grouping" could be an option to turn it on or off if you don't have that many books in your reader.

Well, I thing I was carried a little away with this ...
These are just suggestions from a user's perspective.
I know that it could be undoable from the programmers side, and I really do appreciate the work done thus far, but I had to ask.
