I disagree, because that priority system is no replacement for multiple highlight colors. Now, if several highlight colors were
combined with some of the innovative MapleRead notes features (multiple notes lists, priority levels, etc.) – that would be something. But a single highlight color is a show-stopper for me – simply by looking at a page of text, I must be able to see the
various types of highlights, which appears to be impossible in MapleRead. Also, as I mentioned, the more highlight types/colors are available, the better – and only 3 "priority levels" simply won't do for me. (Plus, to me, it's not about "priority" at all, at least not primarily, but about various
types of annotations, and about being able to spot the various highlight types simply by looking at pages of text, thanks to the various colors used.)

Please let's avoid over-reacting.
It's perfectly valid and helpful to compare the various e-readers available when the aim of that comparison is to improve the e-reader being discussed, which is Hyphen in this thread.
For now, based on first impressions, I would rate Hyphen for iPad 3 stars, and Hyphen for iPhone 2.5 stars (due to the severe bug of being unable to long-press a highlight and edit it). I'm rating Marvin at 3.5 stars (both Marvin 3 and Marvin 2 versions), and Moon+ Read Pro on Android at 3 stars. Those are all very solid e-readers to me, and all the others I've ever seen are
below 3 stars. I just hope I can live long enough to get to see e-reader software that I might rate at least 4 stars, or – if we dare to dream – 5 stars one fine (probably very distant) day.
