Missing Exit

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There is no option to exit the application except the [Back] key.
And this even leaves the application running in the background.
Have to use a taskkiller to stop it.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
BookWorm v.17
HTC Desire
Android 2.1

Please provide any additional information below.

Android applications should never have an exit button. Task killers are also 
unnecessary if applications are designed properly and don't take up resources 
in the background. 

If there is an actual problem with BookWorm being in the background please 
advise, but I am not aware of any, and it has been profiled.

Fair enough. But it's the only app (I have noticed) that is flagged as 
"Background" and not "Empty" in the task-list when not focused. I mean it's not 
a music player which has things to do even when in background.

I agree that there shouldn't be an exit button, but as the article points out, 
the back button is expected to call activity finish, which we don't do, and 
since both users and other apps expect this behavior, this can lead to issues 
like 90 (force close with TaskSwitcher installed) and may be a factor in issue 
94 (reboot on back button) depending on what other apps are running.
