I have looked into highlighting text, it looks like it is only supported on some of the newer versions of Android. So it would be difficult to add it to the app without breaking it on some of the older versions.

This would be very difficult to do, when reading a chapter the app is just displaying a web page that is stored on the phone. Working out where in the HTML the icon needs to be placed would be tricky.

Skipping a given number of works from the start of a chapter would be easy, but skipping a number of words from the current position would be a lot harder. I am thinking of adding the ability to search a chapter for a given bit of text and scrolling to that. It should be easier that skipping words and i think more useful.

I have no plans to make an app for iPhone. I don't own a mac or an iPhone and I have never use the language iPhone apps need to be written in (Objective C). I think the app might have trouble getting pass the screening process Apple do when adding new apps to their App Store.
I am hoping to update the app on Monday, new version will include:
* Chapters will be marked as read in the list of chapters once opened (Configurable)
* Added a menu when user holds down on a chapter in the chapter list. Menu includes:
- Button to open the chapter
- Button to download the chapter without opening it
- Button to delete the chapter from the cache
- Button to mark if the chapter to be displayed as read/unread in the list
* Fixed some problems where app was freezing for an extended period of time when setting a novel to watched/unwatched or going next/previous chapter
- Thank you to people who sent bug reports thought Google
* Stops putting unwanted links into the chapter list for some novels
* The list of chapters for novels is updated faster
* Uses less memory when downloading images
Edit: Update is out now
Edit 2:
Another update will be out later today (5/7/11).
Forgot to mark chapters are read when they opened using Previous or Next buttons.
Fixed chapters not being displayed for, Ginban Kaleidoscope, Infinite Stratos and Mushi to Medama.
