Bookmarks and Table of Contents, at long last! When you have a book open, just tap the bookmark icon in the top right hand corner- it'll slide right in. View your bookmarks from the Chapters button in the reader and re-read your favorite part of the book, any time.
We've also added full-screen covers on the first page of every book. Especially on a Retina Display ;)
Our Table of Contents are put together by hand- right now we have many of our most popular titles fully supported. In the coming months, we'll add even more!

Reviews! Also, a completely revamped reader, registration, an across the board interface freshening up, and bug fixes. This update lays the foundation for our huge 3.0 update, where we'll get in library sync, highlights, bookmarks, and note-taking. Almost there :)
Play by play:
- User reviews, and ratings! To leave a rating takes less than a second- tap the star rating, you're done. Once we have enough ratings and reviews we'll let people sort by books by highest rated.
- Registration bug fixes, faster loading.
- Revamped reader. The reader now fits in much better with the rest of the app. You can also now rate books while reading, and view other reviews.
- Interface freshening. Lots of little annoyances are fixed- the top buttons are MUCH easier to tap, everything looks nicer, everything is snappier, and the whole app just 'feels' massively better.
- Registration. Right now it's just for written reviews, but soon it will be used for sync, library backups, and uploading your own books from the web.
- Bug fixes and performance improvements.

iOS 4 compatibility, a new design, descriptions, collections to make browsing a snap, a much classier icon, bug fixes, instant switching between genres, and an easier to use book view.
So, uh, kind of a big update. Here's the play by play:
- A brand new browsing experience, with dozens of collections, featured authors, and genres drawn out of the larger collection- just flick along the Browse Bar to explore!
- Collections. Before, there were just generic genres and some featured books. Now we have everything from The Writings of Abraham Lincoln to English 101 to Philosophy Classics.
-Descriptions! Much requested, we have 'em- they're only in 50 or so books right now, but this will be expanded very rapidly moving forward.
- 100% less communisty icon.
- Made search more flexible, so a search for 'The Age of Reason' will bring up 'Age of Reason, The'.
- And, naturally, some other odds, ends, tweaks, and bug fixes.
