pprendville - Ha! Yeah, my cat doesn't really like dogs. Nothing personal.
mikelove - I like the pleco Reader so much that I have mostly switched my chinese epubs over from ibooks, but highlighting is the most missed feature. Even a really basic support (ie. one color, no linking/indexing of highlights) would be super useful. Plus with the recent debeautifying iOS7 update, simple background color changes formhighlights are all the rage (though I find the pink/purple/blue highlight colors in iBooks too dark to read through comfortably).
