Not sure if this is possible, but I'd like for someone more knowledgeable than I to help.

I'd like to see an implementation where you can put in double or triple digits.

I'd like to be able to put a Bible on my reader. I'd like to open up on a ToC listing all 66 books, even if it lists the OT on page one and NT on page 2, that would be fine. Each book is numbered, and so, for instance, if I wish to go to Revelation, I go to NT and hit '27'.

Then on the first Revelations page would be chapters, simply typing the chapter number <enter> would take you to that page. From then, you can simply page over to the verse you want.

In order to do this, the firmware would have to allow more than just 8 buttons. Perhaps one button could be mapped to simply add 10, and maybe another to add 100.

So I could hit <+10><1><9><enter> for 19, which is Psalms, then on Psalms title page, <+100> <1> <+10><5> <enter> which is 150th chapter.

Or instead of remapping a button to multiply the following number by 10 or 100, you can simply have a small text box to allow you to just type in numbers.

Not sure if this is feasible, but this is something that I would like to see implemented in a future firmware update.

It would also allow more folders to be on the screen at once, at least more than 10.
