I frequently read books on my smart phone by accessing Calibre Server from Chrome to find the book and download it to the phone, then using the touch interface to read the book - touch or swipe right for next page, touch or swipe left for prev page, touch center top for menu to get to TOC or preferences.

This works quite well for me, except for one aspect of the interface - swiping up goes to next chapter, swiping down goes to previous chapter. Because of the size of the phone (and my clumsy fingers), I from time to time get next chapter rather than next page. If I was in a 20 page chapter, finding the page I was on is a pain.

Is there any way to disable next/prev chapter?
