The new version of the software gives you a "Kindle-like" page numbering experience. Instead of having the page number in the center "124/443" (for example) it now puts that to the left with a percentage on the right ... 124 of 443 ............................ 29% (not dots, I put them in to hold the space. Or you click the bottom again, the percentage stays the same on the right, but (after getting your reading rate) it now predicts how long to the end of the chapter or book. And click again the page disappears altogether (unfortunately it doesn't fill the space with more lines from the book).

Also, according to the update notice, they've also made it easier with annotations. The library details tell you how many annotations have been made in each book — and you can view those annotations from the book's "contextual menu." You restrict the Library to only show books with annotations with a new "Annotations Only" filter. You can also view your annotations for all your books by tapping the button at the bottom of any book's Annotations menu.

And there additional bug "fixes and performance improvements." (That's also Kindle-like.)

EDIT: If the book title (at the top) used to be faded, it isn't any longer, neither is the information on the bottom. Links are still faded however.
