New feature poll in sidebar -- am I missing something?

I see this poll in the sidebar there, "What new feature would you like most to see in Stanza iPhone/iPod?"

Conspicuously absent from the choices are the ability to lock the orientation so that I can read while lying down, and the ability to bookmark any arbitrary location so that I don't have to flip through 100 pages to get back to where I left off.

These would seem to badly needed and obvious features, so their absence in the poll made me wonder. Are they there already and I just don't know how to access them?

those are both in the

those are both in the program.
Lock Orientation is in Settings-you may have missed it because its in the iPhone Settings, not in the Stanza program. Stanza/Controls and Effects/Lock Book Rotation
Bookmarking is now in 1.2, same place as chapters. (the chapter icon)
Stanza should always open books where you left off though. I have 6-7 books I'm in the process of reading, and they always open up where I left off (Not that the new Bookmarks aren't helpful!)

Terrific!

Thanks for the reply.

You're right, I didn't think to see if stanza put anything in the iphone settings screen.

I'm downloading the 1.2 update now, and looking forward to the bookmarking. The automatic opening where I left off has been hit or miss for me so far. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Maybe this will be improved after the update as well.

Thanks again! I have finally put my old palm to rest. (Er.... that sounds wrong, but you know what I mean. ;-)
