While I impatiently wait for version 4 (what's taking so long?) I had a couple ideas. 1. In order to quickly access the highlighting bar, can you assign that function to the "Read" button when we are already in the reading pane? That button isn't be used for anything else at that time. 2. There is another app called MagicPad that implements a cut/copy/paste scheme that looks like it could work in conjunction with the highlighting bar. Thanks for my number 1 application.
