I don't recall how the old viewer differs in this, though what's hinted at in the message is something I've been meaning to ask. As we are used to viewing documents in some sense like flow mode, word processing documents, PDFs, some mobile EPUB readers act as such, etc., is it possible to offer some smoother transition between files? At the limit of a file/chapter, calibre loads the previous or next file with scroll position at the top of the file. As such, scrolling at the limit such as to view the end of one file or beginning of another is a bit finicky. If it were possible to have the viewer use multiple WebFrames (?) such that at the limit of a chapter, it would smoothly scroll between them, such that one could simultaneously view the beginning/end of one file and such of another, like how some email apps show a threaded conversation using multiple HTML controls, how a word processor smoothly transitions between pages, and too many PDF viewers, I think that'd significantly enhance flow mode viewing.
