I searched for the best ebook reader for windows and came across calibre.
I've been fiddling with calibre for a day now.
I'm looking for some basic things in the ebook viewer of calibre

1)The find word function in full screen seems to have problems.When I press ctrl + F in full screen,I can't see what I'm typing(The search bar doesn't appear).However when i type the word and press enter,the word i searched for gets highlighted.I have to right click and press show/hide controls to see what I'm typing,but I'd like to do so in real full screen,like the pop up window that appears in Adobe Reader.(If that's not asking too much as I use that feature a lot of times)

2)I'd like to disable search history for the same(Ctrl + F search function).I find it annoying.

3)I'd like to see two pages side by side on one screen with real book like page flipping.

Also I find it weird that page numbers are like.... 1,2,3.7,4.5....why can't they just be natural numbers?

As a newbie,all I could do is look in the preferences option of the ebook viewer for such options and couldn't find any.Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
You can customize the number of pages (Columns) view shows at one time using the Preferences (gears) WITHIN Viewer

In 'Text Layout' you can set the number of pages 'up'

Take some time and explore the options for ideas of what can be done. Some are mutually exclusive (paged vs continious scroll)


Ebooks do not have PAGES. They have Screenfulls.
Zoom the text so there are only 3 words showing on the screen.
How many PAGES does my book have.? What page is those 3 words on if I now change the zoom to normal?

Those are locator numbers
