is the main menu button
in mupdf brings back to main manu

i've mapped it to rotate when I'm in adobeviewer or djvuviewer

I guess, the optimal way for small screens would be to show functions as a popup menu with large buttons.
yes I agree, even if slows the reading

AS to "how to see the bottom half" question - another "hmmm". How do you scroll with built-in apps? Gestures? Gestures are way out of the level of involvement I agree to take :-)
either with next/back button or gestures moves from half upper to half bottom, or third or quarter of page

same behavoiur in djvu viewer

I was thinking of simulating double clicks with buttons - this way I can add scrolling functionality to next/back buttons. However, this will come at a price of another 0.5 sec delay.
I see the point. Consider that with two columns the portrait view is near to be useless in 6'' where the landscape view is still good enough, but if i can't see the rest of the page then bacame useless rotate it

As to the search functionality - I was surprised with how slow it is, too... muPDF allows to extract text elements easily, so this should not be a problem. I was thinking to implement it similar to desktop-based Adobe reader - as a right-hand panel with search results, but it is obviously not an option for small screen, so it should be a separate window I guess
any search is useful, provided that works in human ages...

And what about font in text pdf? did you plan to allow to choose it?

Une more thing. You should add a function to re-open the book at the page where you were. Otherways it starts from page 1 each time
