A completely re-written E-book viewer with an emphasis on presenting the book text, distraction free

As my two screen shots demonstrate the old viewer was already capable of presenting book text distraction free… except for the scroll bar. I don't know if anyone ever requested it be made optional, but I find it difficult to imagine it that couldn't have been given a show/hide toggle as is provided for many other things.
Being a minimalist when I first saw the viewers toobar I looked for a way to get rid of it… et voila, uncheck Preferences->Miscellaneous->Show controls in the viewer window… then oh look… now I can toggle it as and when I want it…
