problems with the ebook viewer
i'm using the viewer on a PC, as the pages getting further and further down the text size keep reducing. if I use the increse text icon, the page will skip back to previous pages that I'd read already.

that can't be a feature of the programme, what have I done wrong?

PC? Windows?

How are you paging down? Purple arrows, click in the scroll bar, Page Down key, Mouse wheel

BTW resizing fonts will shift your viewing position

If I change the font size on my reader (sonys) because I forgot my glasses, the same thing happens. Not really abnormal as it has to repaginate the book.

I would suggest reconverting the book with a fixed font size.

it's windows XP. I've tried all but the purple arrows with the same problem.

Very strange.
Only the Aa with up/down arrows changes font size on XP (and Ubuntu)

Since you mentioned having vision issues: Do you use any of the Windows supplied (or 3rd party) screen assist tools? (My thinking is a weird interaction)
