Almost Stanza

Almost a fully usable replacement for the perfection of Stanza. Even the speed of the page transitions is most responsive out of all the other alternatives - iBooks for instance has the most annoying half a second lag. I have two gripes that I hope the devs will soon fix.

1. Customizable night theme. Why do we have to be locked into white text? I find that red text on black background is much more readable in the dark than white. Also, in the night theme, when you flip, the back of the page is white, and it produces an unpleasant flash in the dark.

2. Page transition dynamics. Whats with the diagonal flip? No book I know (other than loose leaf printouts with a staple in the corner) flips that way, make it flip sideways, devs!
The sticky flip would be good too, when you can grab the edge and drag slowly while the page follows your finger, gives you a feel of a real book.

I am sure the developers are listening to the suggestions and will incorporate the popular ones soon. ShuBooks can have a real future. But hurry up, cuz MarvelApp just entered the fray in the iPad ebook reader world, and their app rocks! Before too long theyll be making an iPhone app... ;)
