Feature Request for Ebook Viewer / Windows

I've recently moved my reading to a Windows 8.1 tablet (Dell Venue 8 Pro) and have encountered a small flaw in Ebook Viewer that should be relatively easy to correct.

Issue: the toolbar button for Open has a small down arrow that access an alternate Open function. The Print button has a similar alternate companion. Both of these are way, way too small to access by touch. They require a mouse.

Workaround: use TouchMousePointer (a free utility) to simulate a notebook's touchpad with an onscreen replicant. This provides mouse functionality and access to the small downarrows.

Suggested "fix": Add a right-mouse menu to the large Open and Print buttons that produces the same alternate menu that the down arrows do. This would allow a touch-and-hold action (the touch analog to a right-mouse click) to access the alternate functions just as it does for the full screen's right-mouse function for access its context menu.
