Apologies for delay - been very busy. Actually while I found the odd/even feature worked initially (i.e. immediately after reinstallation of updates etc.), it soon began to be inconsistent in the ways that you describe, jumping pages and so on. Definitely a fault there. I can offer a solution of sorts in the interim:

i. Under preferred aplications, I have epub: PDf Reader; FB2: Cool Reader; chm: Cool Reader; Doc: Office Reader. (I have not selected 'Old PDF Reader')

ii. I open my scanned pdf book, double page layout as above

iii. Under page settings I reset margins; under 'Reading' I select 'Page Mode' and '100%' (zoom). This is just to ensure we begin in neutral position.

iv. Under page settings I select 'Universal Manual'. I then use the stylus to pull the box in close around my text (i.e. the one dotted square encompassing the two blocks of text that are the facing pages)

v. Under 'Reading' I now zoom 'To Height'

vi. Under 'Reading' I now select 'Comic Mode'

I can now use my arrow buttons to read my document one page at a time, with each single page filling the screen.

Generally this works perfectly, though it's been erratic on occasion. I don't understand the viewport (which may be affecting things). I also suspect that the proportions of the 'Universal Margin' that you draw affects matters. i.e. if the proportions are a little too wide in relation to height (or vice versa?) then the viewport is invoked (dotted lines across page) and you start to get page skipping. But this is only a hunch.

Hope it helps!
