First feedback: the new menu is very nice ;) But... When I want to
"click" with my finger on it, it click on the book name and opens the
list of the book names. It's difficult to open it.
Second: now when the menu is hidden, impossible to guess where it can be
found, maybe an icon to suggest where the menu can be found should be nice.
Third: the word "back" is still lower and if the word in the middle
could be centered it will be more beautiful.
Fourth: a little bit slow to open.
The font is nice but probably difficult to read (just my opinion).
Thanks Troy for your hard work!
When you correct the menu I will check the French, I found already some
issues, now I can read it in context.
