I tried it on the bus yesterday, after I couldn't use my reader because they turned off the lights. Generally your program is well done, however, I basically had 3 gripes.

Firstly, you left zero left margin and no way to adjust this. It was less irritating after reversing the screen (white letters on black background) because the black background blends in with the bezel but that was only because it was dark around me. During the day I find this very uncomfortable.

Secondly, when I kept the font size at 8 the screen backlighting dimmed before I got to turn the page (I like to set this to a very short interval to prolong battery life and it is not practical to reset this just for reading). The problem is that every time you touch the screen so that backlighting comes back on to full strength your settings menu appears. Perhaps you can have a menu button in a corner somewhere or set either left or right swipe (they have no function now) to bring up the menu?

Finally, page turns are very slow (I am using the Touch Pro2, in the Mobipocket reader pages turn instantly and generally I have no lag using the device) and scrolling up from the bottom is counter intuitive (it seems every other program's page turns work right to left).
