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!
