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
Ok,I get that now,thanks for your information which DoctorOhh
also pointed out

Also please note that the ebook viewer in calibre actually is a epub viewer. It can show other formats, but does so by first converting to epub.
I don't know if I'm understanding this right,but calibre also seems to open mobi files without any conversion,which is one of the 3 major ebook formats along with PDF and EPUB,so I think it will be wrong to call it just an epub reader.

I don't think many people use calibre as a way to read their ebooks, so you're likely to find problems that just haven't been noticed before.
I'm just looking for some good readers which support the 3 major formats.(EPUB,MOBI and PDF)I already have PDF covered,so i need good readers for EPUB & MOBI)If you don't think people use calibre for reading in your opinion,what else do you think people use to read ebooks in these formats on their desktops?

The features i need are:
Dictionary search
Find function
Margin,font,background colour adjust.
Of course full screen

While not being too lazy,google just gave me a lot bunch of software programs for what I asked and calibre was the one only common in them all.
I guess I just have to try them all before I find the perfect one.

If it only wasn't for that full screen bug.
BTW I submitted a bug report.
