> - I can change the brightness of the screen in CoolReader by sliding a finger on the left of the screen. I must use a menu in Koreader and that makes brightness control almost useless.

Strange, because Koreader has this functionality. On my kindle paperwhite I can slide up and down on the left side of screen to change intensity, on my oasis I can additionally slide up and down on the right side to change color temperature.

Which platform isn't it working on?

Android. However I found Expert Mode and activated it. Then Taps and gestures, Gesture Manager, One-Finger Swype and there are the two swyping gestures to set brightness.

One is done. Text color next, maybe.

As a side note: I always thought that CoolReader settings UI was a mess but Koreader's one is much worse: less funky but even less efficient.
