I do the majority of my ebook reading on a Windows PC. Actually a lot of it is not reading from cover to cover, but searching and reading specific parts of various works for research purposes. Thus, the Calibre viewer is important for me because it's much better at searching, extracting and printing portions than Kindle for Windows, and it has continuous scroll mode as an option to the very annoying page-flip mode -- a disastrous mimicking of physical media, IMHO.
But the mouse scroll wheel is barely usable because of its 7-line discrete jump, as I explain above. I understand the issues with getting it to scroll by single lines, but making it scroll smoothly (and perhaps in smaller increments than 7 lines) would be fine.
I realize mine is probably not a common usage pattern, but it still seems to me that smooth scrolling is a reasonable expectation for a reading application.
Are you saying it can be implemented by a patch to Calibre? I was a professional programmer in the past, though not so much for a few years, and might be willing to tackle it. But I already have too many tool-based projects distracting me from my actual research, so I am reluctant.
Regards. --David
