Include a “Random Page” button. I seldom read paper books, even novels, sequentially1; I like to dive into something that seems interesting and then move from there to the rest of the text. But on a Kindle or other e-reader, that’s not really possible, save for typing in a random search term or something like that. Amazon, B&N, Apple: Take a lesson from the “random post” feature on Tumblr and make serendipitous reading possible again.

Needless to say, I don’t much care for novels with surprise or twist endings. ↩
