No, nothing wrong (you can watch the screenshots I posted (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...4&postcount=12)). As I said in my previous post, I can read perfectly (flawlessly) your pdf. You also can use the volume buttons of your tablet to go from page to page but the more comfortable things is to configure taps. Go to "Common Settings" > "Configure Taps" and once there, with your finger select all the screen and delete all zones. Press that button several times (in order to erase all the previous defined zones), after that you can't do that once more. You'll see something like:

Name:	Tap1.png
Views:	679
Size:	491 Bytes
ID:	138571

After that, with you finger select the central part of the screen (see the following image):

Click image for larger version

Name:	Tap2.png
Views:	662
Size:	507 Bytes
ID:	138572

Select for that zone the command (single tap) "Show options menu". Press the "Apply" buttom.

After that, with your finger select the right part of the screen (see the following image):

Click image for larger version

Name:	Tap3.png
Views:	703
Size:	527 Bytes
ID:	138573

Select for that zone the command (single tap) "Scroll Forward". Press the "Apply" buttom.

Do the same for all other zones and you'll have something like:

After that, select with your finger all the screen; you'll have something like:

Click image for larger version

Name:	Tap5.png
Views:	672
Size:	596 Bytes
ID:	138575

Select for that zone the command (DOUBLE TAP): "Zoom to column". Press the "Apply" buttom.

After that, select the right part of the screen; you'll have something like:

Click image for larger version

Name:	Tap6.png
Views:	598
Size:	663 Bytes
ID:	138576

Select for that zone the command (TWO FINGERS TAP): "Scroll to next page start". Press the "Apply" buttom.

Finally select the left part of the screen; you'll have something like:

Click image for larger version

Name:	Tap7.png
Views:	686
Size:	654 Bytes
ID:	138577

Select for that zone the command (TWO FINGERS TAP): "Scroll to prev. page start". Press the "Apply" buttom.

That's all. After that you'll be able to read any pdf/djvu files (with or without columns) flawlessly.

EDIT: PLEASE, DOWNLOAD THE LAST VERSION OF EBOOKDROID BEFORE DOING SOMETHING
