I have looked around at how touch screens work and how to add touch screen support to the Calibre reader. Touch screens act just like mouse input on a windows based PC. Windows feeds the input to applications using the same commands I believe.

I have a development request for Calibre. Could the reader text display frame be made mouse click sensitive? A mouse click to the lower right corner of the "page" to advance the book to the next page, and the lower left to go back a page.

If i am correct then this function will work the same if a mouse is used, or a touch screen on a tablet PC.

Would someone be willing to attempt this?
What is wrong with tapping the Green (page turn) Arrows ?

BTW the tool bar can be relocated to the Right or Left edge of the reader.
