9. Enhanced Tapping Dialog:
Along the existing options of Show Full Definition, Highlight, Add Note and Share, we should have copy and paste buttons when a word is tapped in a book. After having a Notepad, I want this feature. |

highlight word (obviously yes) highlight from start of sentence highlight to end of sentence highlight full sentence highlight paragraph ? Would those make any sense assuming there was cut&paste support for them? |

All your requests make sense and I think they're possible but it adds to the complexity of interface (it'd be like mouse gestures that I never liked... for example: tap then wait a second and tap for 2nd time to select whole sentence etc.) But these are not as useful for me as a simple copy paste can be. |

11. Some PDF viewer improvements
1. remove margins (a lot of space is wasted) 2. option for stable zoom-in between the pages (e.g. choosing 110% would force header & footer outside of visible area - it would improve page readability..) 3. implement rotation (not this from UI itself, but only in PDF viewer) |

12. Listener for an event:
If Kindle Touch is on WiFi, I'd like a listener to be run in the background, and do something (play an alert sound, etc.) when I receive an email for example in gmail. @knc1: inetd can be useful here? Last edited by thatworkshop; 02-28-2012 at 06:54 PM. |

7. Indexing improvements
- Indexing progress bar on main screen or indexing status info in settings - I would kill for an option to switch indexing off entirely |
