With the advent of handhelds PCs, besides consoles capable of opening webpages, I was thinking that it could be an interesting idea to add such support.

Currently the Reader works well with the keyboard, mouse, and touch screen.

A gamepad API already exists for browsers, and could be implemented alongside the options above:

  • Digital Pad and Left Analog capable of moving the screen across (When image doesn't fit the screen), digital is slower, analog is analog ( faster the further you push it)
  • Left and Right Shoulder Buttons can move pages
  • Maybe a button to be the equivalent to "Space"/"Page Down" rapidly scrolling down by one page, and moving to the next one if already at the bottom (Could be added to the keyboard controls too)
  • A button to show and hide the sidebar

No need to move between chapters because of accidents.

I think these are the main ones, no need to worry about navigating menus, because those are not done constantly, and people can just use the already existing options if they really need to change settings.
