eReader for iPhone updates to v2.0
v2.0 of Fictionwise/eReader’s iPhone/iPod Touch reader app has just hit the App Store. It includes a whole paragraph of new features, including autoscroll, color themes, book attribute display, user-defined categories and sorting by category, indicators to let you know what books are already on your device from your on-line bookshelves, percentage-read indicators on the on-device bookshelf, more font choices, margin and line spacing options, larger tap targets for link selection, and an action performed by task selection option. (Also, bug fixes.)
One interesting feature not in the app store description is the addition of “day” and “night” themes, so you can choose different color themes for daytime and night-time reading, and switch between them with the flip of a switch in the config screen, or an icon on the task bar.
The autoscroll seems to work fairly well, though I did not give it a thorough testing. As for the larger tap targets, I am happy to report they do indeed work great—for the first time ever, I am able to tap on the footnotes in my eReader NIV Bible and actually see what the footnotes are. Good job, eReader!

Is it just me, or does the new version load slower than the old version?

I think it’s just you.
I don’t think there’s anything new at startup except for the splash screen, which we put in to avoid showing a blank screen while the application loads.
Perhaps “something” seems like it takes longer than “nothing”? There’s probably a study on that somewhere.

To put books in the categories you want open the book and click on the “i” icon in the top right corner this will open up info on the book simply click the edit button and you can enter in a bunch of information as well as its category.
