2) Or maybe you will simply get used to them with time. No one else seems to have this issue.

3) Am happy to improve the wording, suggestions are most welcome.

4) Also cannot reproduce, reproduction steps would be appreciated

5) Annotations are stored inside epub files by default, can be turned off the misc section of the viewer preferences.

8) Lets see if anyone else complains of this, I'm not adding the ability to disable touch controls just for one person.

3) preferences>scrolling behavior> screen fulls, should be screens full. Its a common error. its the screens that are multiple, not the full.

4) fair. it I come up with more precise steps i'll let you know.

5) after I wrote i saw a line about it preferences.

8) I did try switching from page view to continuous, which perhaps eliminates some of the problems, though here I find that I have to be very precise about pausing on screen when scrolling before lifting finger, or the screen will continue to scroll several more lines. And the text increasing or decreasing in size. Because one finger was too close to, or touched, the screen while scrolling? haven't had these problems with other programs. I liken the multitude of touch screen options to having an automobile steering wheel that will simply steer only if hands are in a particular precise place, touch in some other place and radio turns on or off, lights go on or off, or car speeds up or slows down. It would make people crazy. I would prefer having one way to move pages forward or back and turn the other options off. Or leave on which ever ones you use. Few people will write you about things that they don't like. They'll find another program that is more comfortable for them. Touchscreens are becoming more difficult to use as developers install more and more actions into every inch (centimeter?) of screen space. I now find having my laptop in my lap is a problem since any part of me accidentally touching (or even getting too close to?) the touchpad causes something unwanted to happen on screen. too sensitive. (the pads/screens, not me ;-) )

good to hear from you.
