 Well, I bit the bullet and installed a WikiReader build environment
 and compiled the latest kernel. Then I applied Tim's patch and
 recompiled and installed the kernel.

 It's brilliant! I'm attaching it to this message. Just rename it to
 kernel.elf, save it to your SD card, and pop it back in. Enjoy! (Back
 up your old kernel first.)

 Thanks, Tim!

 As a bonus, the latest build also seems to improve touch screen
 responsiveness for hyperlinks.

 Tim,

 This sounds awesome! I hope it becomes standard.

 Could you please attach a complete kernel for those of us who are too
 lazy to set up a toolchain right now? :)

 Happy holidays and thanks,

 Hi all,

 Attached to this mail is a small patch I wrote a while ago, introducing
 border interactions. It quite simply hacks in a 15px magical border
 which when tapped induces certain actions:
   * upper border: page up;
   * lower border: page down;
   * left border: history back;
   * right border: history forward.

 I've added page up  down because it reads far faster and scrolling
 (at least on my wikireader) turned out to be quite unreadable. History
 back and forward are handy shortcuts while clicking through links of an
 article.

 -Tim
