1. Is it possible to preserve rotation for reading left handed (currently if you rotate the image, the next page will revert to potrait 0)
2. Toggle menu text doesn't indicate whether the setting currently is on or off.
3. Is there a way to have a chapter indicator so we can zip a whole volume but still can jump between chapter. One option probably is calibre cbc format
4. Locking/turn off tap/swipe to navigate
1. The rotation is supposed to be preserved, and it works that way on my devices. Perhaps the very latest firmware versions break that. I'll have to load firmware 5 on my Inkpad to see if I can duplicate this bug.

2) I'll try to make some icons to indicate the toggle state in the menu.

3) There is currently no support for metadata of any kind. Others have asked for it, but there are so many different formats that I got discouraged. I'll look again, but I'm very busy with work these days, so I can't devote much time to this project.

4) I need more information about these. Lets consider each individually:
4a) Instead of implementing locking in the application, can you not just put the device to sleep with the power button instead? Isn't that the same as locking the screen?
4b) Turning off tapping sounds like it could be a problem on some devices (the Inkpad only has Next/Prev and power buttons). How would you re-enable tapping afterwards? Or do you mean only disabling the Next/Prev tap zones?
4c) I don't understand what "swipe to navigate" means. Right now, swiping with one finger either pans the image if that is possible, or changes the page. What do you want to navigate?

P.S. I checked the program on my Inkpad running firmware 5.11, and the rotation is preserved across page changes. Perhaps you have the "Automatically rotate landscape images" configuration option enabled, and that is what is causing your page changes to be rotated?
