So I recently acquired a tablet -- HP 2740p -- with the intent of doing all the things one does on a tablet on it, including reading eBooks.

When I found Calibre -- in the days leading up to my purchase -- I thought I'd found a one-stop-shop for my eBook cataloguing and reading needs.

Once I acquired the tablet, however, I noticed that Calibre isn't even on the Good, Better, Best model of Windows 7 touch -- Calibre eats touch input.

I don't know what it is about the program, but even the Windows 7 multi-touch gestures that are supposed to emulate input (one finger/two finger pan emulating the scroll wheel, etc.) for totally touch-unaware applications don't work.

What's the deal?
