Reader UI request!
Hey all you firmware hackers and flashers. I'd really really like an improvement to how the "by author" and "by title" choices on the main reader menu work.
I want hierarchical navigation through the space of available choices using the 10 buttons to choose from subranges of the total. In programmer-speak, think of it as choosing the n-th subchild of a balanced tree with up to 10 children per node. At each level, you display for each button the first and last book available at the leaves if I choose that button. (No need to implement it as a balanced tree, of course. That just describes the notion, not the implementation.)
This would allow access to any book with Log-base-10(total-number-of-books) button presses. Way better than scrolling through a 50-page list of individual books.
If we can flash the firmware, this ought to be a doable thing.
Anyone up for the programming? Anyone? Beuhler?
