if title bar is visible, u may click a book title and see opened books and 
other views listed.
Also the recent view is shown if application icon clicked.

Can you create a list of annotation tools you want to see? Right now we have 
pen with 3 width and optional pressure handling.

as an ebook reader , basic annotation tools should include highlight(or 
underline), comment(or text box), just in par with free adobe reader, 
additional features(such as those appear in ezpdf) should be goodies for 
donators.

I do not understand what other highlight tool you are talking about.

How its behaviour should differ from current implementation?

 highlight  is just a standard annotation tool, first select the text you want to highlight, then apply the color you choose  on them , current annotation tool in ebookdroid   is called freehand in other  pdf  annotation app.

Too bad my devices stop at android 2.x
but as for annotations tools I would suggest
- underline
- striketrough
which can be derived as particular instances of highlighting with a thin black 
line.
And then at least 
- two types of 'transparent' highlighting (underline and full height) in at 
least 
- three different user defined colors that can be used at once. 

This will allow for six different coded highlighting schemes for titles, 
sections, formulas (in order to add structure to the text) and for highlighting 
key concepts, important paragraphs and definitions.
(I use dark green, light green and yellow and the effect is not as bad as one 
might at first imagine :-) )

And if dreaming is allowed: 
one feature that would be priceless in highlighting formulae is a 'framed box' 
highlighting tool.
For example, I use to enclose important formulae (on real paper books) in a 
yellow box with a green frame. The tool should work like a 'draw rectangle 
tool', since formulae are usually two-dimensional entities spanning two or more 
lines.

Moreover, it would be nice for the 'straight line' highlighting tool to be able 
to adapt to slightly inclined text (slope detection in the proximity of the 
starting point?). This will help highlighting text on not perfectly aligned 
scanned documents.

Come to think of it... I guess the highlighter tool needs two different 
implementations:

- one for OCRed DJVU and PDFs (documents with accessible text) that would 
automatically align to the lines of text. This can specialize into underline, 
strikethrough and full highlight. User select the text and then choose the tool.

- one for scanned documents (pages are really images) that can produce a 
rectangular framed overlay with the same inclination as the page - slope 
detection can be applied to the bulk of the page). This can specialise into 
framed rectangles, highlighting rectangles, highlight full line, strikethrough, 
underline.
User select the area and then chooses the tool. the area selection should have 
the same inclination as the bulk of the page.

Never seen before. Anywhere.

I guess there is no way to change the text in a pdf or djvu file to add or 
remove italics and bold face, uhu?

(Talking of bold face, look what I've had the guts to ask you to do... :-) )

Fixed in 2.1: switching between documents are added in left side menu.
