Thanks. EPUBReader works nicely with the mouse wheel. I'll use it when I have a lot of pc-based reading to do.

Also, thanks for the pointer to the code. Looks quite do-able, though I'm not sure I could crack the mysteries of smooth scrolling, even if I were to fire up an environment and start working with py -- I'm more of a ruby guy.

I do note that Firefox (and therefore ePUBReader) does scroll 3-4 lines at a time with the wheel, but does so continuously rather than in one gulp, and in such a way that gulps run together nicely for sequences of scrolls. That seems to be the trick.

I'll probably put this on the official wish-list for Calibre -- seems like a legitimate feature request.

Love Calibre, by the way -- terrific job! Don't know where I'd be without it -- tearing out my hair over Kindle, most likely.

Thanks.
