The new categorization in the Beta is great, but I have to wonder why more has not been done to improve handheld readability. When I got my first Palm, I became an instant e-reader, but I certainly was not happy with the screen quality. Now that I have a Tungsten T3, I am more than happy with the screen quality, but have noticed that Palm Reader displays text better because of justification and antialiasing of fonts.
iSilo is superior to Palm Reader in so many ways, but it would be nice if iSilo did have these two options. Because I have been choosing to read practically all my books on the Palm, every little improvement in the quality of text displayed is greatly appreciated.
It's difficult for me to think of anything else that really would improve iSilo as a book reader, other than these two things. I've seen a reader before called "Read Them All" that had a really nice auto scroll where the text didn't move on the screen but each new page drew over the old page slowly with markers to let you know where the page was changing, but there might be a patent on this.
