Anyone else find Calibre difficult to use with a touch screen? I had been converting all epubs into pdf through calibre and then using pdf software for reading. Recently i have been trying the beta of Calibre, to try out the new highlight/annotation feature. While i am finding that the new feature works pretty well, the experience of reading in Calibre is an exercise in frustration.

I am using an HP x360, win10, with touchscreen. in page view, there are many spots on screen that wind up taking me to places in book pages away from where I am reading. In scrolling (continuous) view, scrolling up or down leaves the page scrolling further just by removing my finger from the sceen. I am getting the idea that I simply can't go near the touch screen with Calibre. Too much time is spent recovering my place in the book.

I don't have these issues in other software, or in the pdf reader (foxit).

Anyone else having this experience with Calibre?
