Honestly, I didn't love the old epub viewer, either. This is why I always download fanfic in HTML (thank you for keeping that an option), so I can read in my browser, which lets me smooth-scroll with arrow keys or mouse wheel without regard for end of chapter (my biggest issue, since jumping to the start of a new chapter throws me out of the story and I have to back up and find my place again), full-screen or shrink window, change zoom with ctrl + or ctrl -, page up or page down, find things with ctrl F, and use hyperlinks directly if I want.
I have not found an epub viewer I really love anywhere. EBookDroid on my phone was moderately good until they changed the fonts to infinitesimal, though it was always weird that it insists on displaying italics as yellow highlighter. I do wish Calibre would let me convert my other epub books to singlepage HTML in an easy click, rather than having to explode each book and manually compile the HTML. Mind, being able to explode the book at all is awesome.
I try not to fuss too much: it's free software and I'm very grateful for what it does, but if I could have my 'druthers, y'know ^
