Calibre is a proper WIMP GUI program. Despite what MS has tried to do since windows 8, you can design for keyboard & mouse or for touch. Trying to do both is a failure.
Similarly, a mouse and keyboard does work on Android, but it's ghastly.
Solution: Don't use a touch screen on MacOs, Windows or Linux. Touch screens are for iOS, Android, dedicated portals and gadgets. Not for desktop/laptop centric operating systems.

I had an Asus android tablet, tf300, previous to the x360. I had the keyboard with touchpad along with it. I all worked fine. Problem was, it would get slower and slower, needing repeated op sys reinstalls. Asus never updated the opsys. eventually I installed a hacked current (at the time) android system. same issue with slowing down. Others have told me about the same experience with their android tablets. No more android for me.
perhaps i wasn't clear. I use foxit pdf reader on the x360, I have no issues using the touchscreen, with foxit taking me to places in book that I didn't intend. It is well behaved. not my experience using calibre, which is too bad, since I was looking forward to using calibre to read epubs with the new highlight/annotation feature.
