Problem solved 
Now, give us the cheap ebooks  |
That strikes me as the ideal solution, too, both in terms of how I'd like to see books presented on a device and as far as shepherding new users into the market with minimal pain and suffering. I would consider us there today if Adobe made their software more flexible (and just smarter) for Windows and Linux machines. As it is, I need another piece of software (irotate) to align the page with my screen, and having done that, I still can't get true fullscreen or smart one-button page turns. How hard is it to apply fit-height, fit-width or best-fit to
each page turn? How could you NOT include fullscreen (if it's in ADE, it's well hidden)?
