Note that you can relocate (drag) this bar, including detached from the viewer.
Calibre won't remember this between uses , but it only takes a sec to do.
Tried that and it is easier to access those buttons at the top rather than the bottom. Actually, I really like eliminating one of the bars by putting them both on the same line. But the real problem still exists. You still have to keep aiming at things to get to the next, or last page and those things are not very big. The mouse almost always drifts off the button before you need to use it again. It distracts one from the story being read. And the story, the book, is what a reader is all about.

Another, perhaps much easier, modification that would allow switching pages without any distraction at all, would be to allow redefinition of the mouse roller function from four lines up and down, as it is, to previous page and next page. Some readers I have used allow redefining the roller action to any specified number of lines up to a full page. It allows you to just read without being distracted by the mechanics. The fewer distractions, the better the reader in my opinion.

Gord
