2) Click on the tab that says "Keyboard Shortcuts"
3) Double click on a task of choice to change its trigger key, in this case, I double clicked on "Scroll Down" and changed it from the default (J or Down) to just J.
I also changed the key of "Scroll to the Next Page" from the PageDown button to just the Down arrow. Of course, I changed the tasks "Scroll up" and "Scroll the the Previous Page" similarly.
At this point I noticed that my down arrow do indeed scroll the entire page (and not just shift a single column), but the mouse wheel that I used for scrolling still defaulted to the single-column scrolling. I changed this so that the mouse wheel scrolls the entire page. Here's what I did:
1) Click on 3-gear icon
2) In "General tab", click on "Page Flip options" button to expand the section
3) Change "Page flip duration" to "disabled"
4) Make sure that "Mouse wheel flips pages" is checked
5) Restart the viewer if that doesn't work.
I was about the reply to Kovid's post to complain about the mouse wheel scrolling but after mucking around Calibre I figured out how to do it. I'm very pleasantly surprised at how customizable Calibre it. Love it!
Edit: Just made a donation to the Calibre team. Keep up the good work you guys!

About the "Page flip duration", I think it refers to the duration the "sliding" animation when you flips a page. A longer value means it would take longer to slide and thus the sliding animation looks more pronounced.
Since I don't need the animation (it frankly gets on my nerves after a while), I leave it as "disabled". However, if you prefer the animation, you can set a non-zero value to it without losing the effect of the mouse wheel scrolling the entire wheel.
