Has anyone managed to get the page flipping mode to work on a kobo glo?
https://github.com/koreader/koreader...ips-and-Tricks

I was hoping that this would let me quickly flip through pages - in paper books I often like to flip forward to get an overview of what's coming to the end of the chapter or flip back a few pages to find a relevant diagram or section. I'm mostly reading large (400+ page) PDFs.
When in page flip mode as described in the tips & tricks I either get random, seemingly uncontrollable page jumps or nothing at all (often just selecting text instead). Is there a trick to getting this to work? anywhere in particular where the panning should start? Or is it just not compatible with large documents?

Also, is it supposed to use regular screen updates, or switch to a faster mode like the monochrome hacks used in some of the android ports?
