Much appreciated
Is the status bar something that you would turn on/off often, or something that you would only want to do once? I'm trying to figure out if it should be in the global configuration page, or in the pop-up menu as a per-book setting.

As far as the accelerometer goes, I don't think it's possible to turn it off with the current API. I can set the orientation so that it doesn't change, but you can already do that through the device configuration. There is a function SetGSensor() that disables the events, but you can still see the green LED come on whenever you change the orientation of the device, so I wouldn't say that it gives any battery savings. It looks to me like the G sensor is always on, no matter what.
