1. Is there a way to change the size of Calibre's View window so it fits full screen?
2. Is there a gesture to change pages? Or a key character or sequence?

Just asking about existing capabilities, not suggesting any enhancement. Because mine is a special situation: Looks like no new Sony Reader out of CES (Sony's Flickr site shows eReader photos of the guy in the window), so I'm trying to use my 5" Sony U750P touchscreen PC as a reader with the wonderful Calibre.

The 6" View window doesn't fit in my 5" screen. A little bit of scrolling is required on each page. And the page turn icon is kinda small to hit with my finger, and a bit of a reach up and over the screen. A page turn gesture like the PRS-700's would be great, or a keyboard page-turn shortcut might work even on this keyboard-less UMPC--I could maybe find a touchscreen app that could make a macro from a gesture.
