Nice buttons, but they sure make it hard to highlight text. You move them to the left, you move them to the right, they just won't get out of the way of the text. I wonder if there's a better way. Maybe a way to use all that space on the right and left side of the text. A way to put it in the margins. I wonder:
See Amazon. This is what it should look like. Vertical buttons on the right or left that don't obscure the text at all. Easy to highlight any text on the screen, easy to read row of buttons (and we don't really need the progress bar. Sure in computer programs, when you're installing them or waiting to download a file, progress bars are really useful, but when I'm reading a book it's not really that valuable. The book is more than 1000 pages. I'm not really making that much progress, ie: no matter how fast I read the bar isn't moving. Even if I was, seems pointless anyway. I know when I'm at the end of a book because the plot winds down or the author starts using phrases like "in conclusion". I don't need to constantly check my progress through the book. Doesn't really do me any good. Actually makes the book harder to finish (especially in a big book like this one). Get rid of the progress bar. We don't need it anyway.)
TL;DR: Kindle for Mac: Full Screen Mode needs Vertical button bars, because they don't obscure the text.
