EPUB flows to available screen dimensions.
If you are using the Calibre-viewer, narrow the view/move the buttons to the edges/turn on the TOC

Thx for your advice but i dont really understand what you meant "on the toc". I can move easy using the mouse and the 2 fingers horizontal scrolling but it s not really precise. I wish we could just have a a rss script to automaticily make a line return, it is for me a must that seems to be missing, it s really disappointing.

Regards

2 fingers?
What are you reading on (and what program)?

there are no 'returns' in HTML (used inside EPUB)
There are tags.
There is a <BR /> tag.
Over/misuse destroys the Reflow of EPUB

I am using a Netbook N102sp my girlfriend bought it for her and it was sale with windows and it was very very slow so i installed linux mint 13. with calibre(installed with synaptic) and everything rox despite the backreturn option because she is using it to read most of time .About the 2 fingers scrolling, MATE (window manager based on Gnome ) has two fingers scrolling option for the track pad (like mac OS X ) .

So maybe is there is a way to converte all her books sgain but add an option to have a backreturn ? Unless EPUB is abble to read /convert .lit with backreturn ?
How do i make a tag using EPUB ( is it another program or it s included in Calibre ?) ?

Regards

Suggests that the document is not flowing but requires manual left/right scrolling. Is this something to do with .LIT format?
