First impressions

I am just trying Plato out.

From the manual, what does "Top left/right multi-corner: go to the previous/next annotation or highlight" mean with respect to "multi-corner"?

I think Plato needs a drag position line to go to places in a book. Page numbering of my epubs is irregular; I would far rather drag a blob along a line like the font size. (By the way the line is unnecessary; who needs fine tuning of font size? A drop down menu of sizes is perfect.)

Bookmarks need improvement. I have visual problems and have difficulty seeing the little marker dot. What is wrong with the turned down corner marker? I also want to see a list of bookmarks and be able to choose one.

As a user interface I find swiping difficult as I have arthritis in my hands. I much prefer a pop up menu. For example refreshing a page by grasping the device in both hands and trying to get my thumbs in the right position is painful.

Might I suggest a pop up menu option for everything that can be done by swiping? Say double tap in the centre section.

I have found books where justify does not justify, and line gap distance does not change. They work fine in the normal reader I think.

I seem to start every book with the same margin, font etc. Is there a way of setting defaults?

I like the simplicity of Plato especially in contrast to KOReader's powerful UI. However I need a good bookmark/annotation system, a quick way of going to a rough position in a book and a UI that involves menus, simple touching or simple swiping. I loathe the complex swiping in Plato.

Perhaps you might consider a UI suited to the visually impaired and arthritic ereader users, so we can enjoy your application more.

I will carry on trying with Plato as it does seem faster, but at my age speed isn't everything :-)
