Ebook reader v4 - start time and default size

Congratulations on Calibre 4.0. The work that has gone into this release is evident to anyone who has worked on software. Well done.

With that as background, I am struggling a bit with the new ebook reader. It looks beautiful, and will be easier perhaps for those who are reading whole books page by page and not doing research. But I miss the controls a lot and am hoping that there are keyboard shortcuts for the old functions. Will be experimenting with this.

Two questions:

1. The new reader seems noticeably slower to load on my machine, though this could be because it is doing more "behind the scenes" to set up a book for first time reading. Are there any tweaks to speed this up?

[Solved by reboot] 2. Every time the reader opens, it is too small on my laptop screen. It is a pain to resize it every time. Is there a way to specify a default size and position for opening the reader?

Thank you for Calibre.

Alec
