One thing I've noticed I love is the new bar that tells you how far along the book you are. It gives you a percentage and it has a little mark indicating each chapter (or story in this case). This is so useful because now I can see how long the next story is and I can decide if I want to try to read it before I go to bed. I can see when the next story is really short and just go right through it or if it is especially long, maybe then I'll just skip it for a shorter one. This is a really nice feature. Also, the joystick has a great feature if you push it to the right, it will skip to the next story/chapter (very slick).
FBReader has a similar feature (see 20090222 snapshot), which keys on the table of contents. Is the Kindle always marking every entry in the TOC (the one you get from a menu item, not just a set of links embedded in the body of the ebook)?
