Pixel fixes and Partial Page Turns
Here are a couple more features I'd love to see on the Reader:
1) Fix reversed pixels
I'd like to be able to fix a reversed pixel by navigating to it with the joystick and then confirming a reversal. It would have to require some kind of utility code to keep the average user from it, but it would be a natural way to fix a screen.
--> The issue is something that someone posted about before on the iRex forums, and that I have on my Sony Reader screen. A single pixel is reversed. It's not stuck because it's clearly black when it should be white and it's white when it should be black. It's so tiny it doesn't ruin the experience completely, and at times can't even be noticed. But it often feels like there's a speck of dirt on the screen so it's a bit of a bother. I haven't gotten around to contacting Sony support yet, but will see if there's anything that they can do.
2) Partial page turns (line by line)
Have you ever had a title or heading or new paragraph in the middle of a page? It's a natural stopping point or the first part of a new section of a book. I'd love to be able to push the screen up by a half-line or by a line at a time, so I can choose which line ends up on the top of the page. Especially for text I want to pick up on again later. Just aesthetics, but it would be nice to be able to scroll to make a page start where I want it to.
