I updated iVBook to show many characters to be looked OK in vertical reading mode. Also 'Ruby' in Aozora Bunko format can be hidden. I'll released the next version in a couple of days.

Versions:

• 03/20/2009 Sent out 1.98 beta 1 to beta testers.
  
• 12/29/2008 I started writing the manual for 1.97.
  
• 12/23/2008 It seems pepole don't like the way iVBook decides the Rubi font size. I'm going to add the option to specify Rubi font size in the version after the next, but it will be delayed until the next year. I'm going to travel down South, and spend a couple of days in San Diego. I'm not able to respond e-mails for a while. 
  
• 12/21/2008 I've fixed the issue of opening the last read document. I'll test the code, and submit it to Apple today.
  
• 12/19/2008 Version 1.95 has been disted. You can find the Japanese document here. iVBook 1.95 Manual
• 12/14/2008 I've added a lot of updates in the version 1.95, and it's been commited to Apple. The big things are here.
  
• Drawing small rubi is supported
• Added built in data transfering
• Text files are organized in sections by the folders where they are.
  

• 12/03/2008 I created the GUI for the content view from scrach. The new GUI is more like iPhone appications. The new release should be available in a couple of days. After that I'm going to change iVBook a lot, and it may take a while to finish the modification.
  
• 11/27/2008: Version 1.92 I fixed the issue of not saving the last viewd page number.
  
• 11/26/2008: Version 1.91 has been submitted to App Store. The new one has a lot of new features. One of the submitted ones is distributed freely, please try it and see how it works. I think it'll take a couple of days before the 1.91 will be available from Apple. Also I uploaded a binary for jailbreaking users here. http://www.4shared.com/file/73278251/597fd4b8/iVBookJB-191.html The number of documents is limited in this version, and you can see only 5 items at same time.
  
  There are a lot of options to customizing this reader application. Font Size, horizontal space size, vertical document size, hiding Rubi, hiding status bar, auto hiding status and navigation bars, view animation duration, background color, text color and automatically open the last document.
   Also there are 5 ways of navigating pages.
  
  - Jumping to a page with the slider bar which appears by a two finger tap.
  - By tapping the left or right edges. You can turn on/off this feature in the preference view.
  - Using accelerometer. You can turn on/off and change the threshold in the preference view.
  - Dragging the page sheet.
  - Snapping
  
   There are some more unique features.
  - You can organize text documents by moving finished ones to 'Finished Books'.
  - Changing pages are smoothly animated.
  - The bookmarks of all documents are saved.
