Viewing enhancement idea

Two things you should probably know right up front;
1) I do not own any ereader devices, I do my reading using my laptop which also acts as my home computer. I therefore am not limited to any one specific ebook format.
2) my skills with personal computers is very limited, I am much more comfortable with large corporate mainframes.

When reading an ebook with calibre Viewer I find it very annoying to find page breaks are not occurring where I would expect as compared to Adobe Digital Reader, Kindle for PC, etc.

Perhaps it would be possible to have an option, when opening an ebook for reading, to choose which viewer to use. (That begs the question, is a callable module for viewing only available in the other software, or are they inseparable from the library portion of their code?) Or would it be easier to modify the calibre Viewer so that it does the exact same page breaking as the "native" viewer? Or would this be better as a plugin?

Thank you in advance for your response(s).
