I sent some ideas across to Patrick Thompson, the developer of MegaReader and he sent me this back:
Hi Clive,
Thanks for the write-up on your blog!
I’ve been getting a lot of great feedback from former Stanza users and I’m starting to make some headway. I just released my first post-Stanza update with the brightness swipe feature and configurable tap-zones; both of which were super popular requests. I continue to gather feedback at megareader.uservoice.com, where you can vote for you favorite enhancement requests and add new ones. This will help me to prioritize the work.
All the best,
Patrick
So I got the update and the backlight is now controlled by dragging your finger on the screen and the configurable tap-zones means I have MegaReader fully customised for comfortable reading in bed!
It looks like MegaReader is a good app to invest in if you want to read epub books on your iPhone.
Now if Patrick can just sort the app to list the books under an Author Heading first, from which we can then drill down to see a list of their books, that would be great as it will shorten my list of installed ebooks.
