Testing it!
I didn't have any crashes, but I think it's a must a fullscreen mode, and it's also necessary some tool to adjust the pictures size (to better fit the screen size, to make zoom...). The app has already (or so it seems) and automatic fit to the width of the screen, but sometimes (for example reading Legend of Koizumi) the picture is only a bit taller than the screen size and it would be useful to can zoom out or something like that.
I think you already have the reading list support on your to-do list?
By the way, the app runs very fluently on my ipod 4th :)
