Device: Onyx Boox M96
Neo Reader Navigation

Hello everyone.

I'm a proud M96 owner as of today (thank you, Booxtor!) and I can really see myself getting along with the device pretty well once I'll be used to it more.

I will mainly use it for reading and annotating pdfs and this is where I encounter a problem I don't seem to be able to solve:

Many of my pdfs are scientific book scans in landscape mode (two book pages on one pdf page). I thought that the navigation function on onyx neo reader would be perfect for first displaying the left half and then the right half of the page (in portrait mode). But whatever navigation mode I use, and whether I use the page turn buttons on the left of the joystick to the right, it doesn't work the way I think it should. The page turn buttons just jump to the next pdf page (so an entire book page is flipped over) and the joystick pans the picture about 3cms to the right but doesn't completely jump to the second half of the page.
I tried to see if it worked better when turning it all to landscape mode so the page would have to be shown in four jumps, but no luck there either.
I had the same problem with a dual column portrait pdf but I pictured it had to do with that specific file.

So. Is this a bug? Is there any remedy to it yet (meaning I'm doing it wrong)? Or would that have to be addressed in a future update?

I'd be glad to hear from you.
Cheers,

CJ

Edit: Actually I just tried out if hitting the screen with the stylus in a page-turning manner made any difference. And it does! So this way, it seems to be working, but not with the joystick. I'd be glad though if the joystick could do the job as then I could turn pages while leaving the scribble function open.
