The items in the first list I have been thinking about and am probably ready to implement. Please comment if you have any thoughts or opinions regarding implementation or regarding items you would like to see or not see in And Bible. Items in the second list I would like to implement but am not yet ready. Items in the last list I have no plans yet to implement. People seem to like the recently added grid navigation and that was pushed through because of comments from this group:</span><div>

<div style="color:rgb(204, 102, 204)">
Alternative 1: Simple enhancement so that if Speech button is pressed on a chapter not being spoken the chapter is added to the speech for queue. If Speech is pressed on a chapter just requested to be spoken then all speech is aborted.</div>
<div style="color:rgb(204, 102, 204)">Possibility to allow fewer presses by moving the Speech button to the first screen of menu buttons but which button to remove and how to know if user can/does use Speech.</div><div style="color:rgb(204, 102, 204)">
Alternative 2: Show Speech Dialog when Speech button is pressed but this would involve a lot more button presses.</div>
<div style="color:rgb(204, 102, 204)">Alternative 3: Add stateful Speak button beside Quick Link buttons (at top) in Portrait mode (more room) if selected in Settings. The Speak/Silent button would switch between the several states Speak, 2 Chapters, 4 Chapters, Book, Silent. </div>
<div style="color:rgb(204, 102, 204)">My vote: I prefer Alternative 3 or possibly Alternative 1 because I feel a dialog just to add a chapter is overkill and could frustrate users.</div></div></blockquote><div> +1<br>
