Reading an epub page by page
Hello, I looked through the parameters of the Viewer, but couldn't find anything. Is there a way to display an epub page by page ? When I press the arrow keys or space bar, it jumps to something like page 48.6, 49.7, 50.9, etc... never a whole number. I also tried to resize the window, but to no avail.

it seems you're scrolling in Flow Mode.

you can press Ctrl + M to toggle between Flow/Paged mode, or use the toolbar button.

BTW I love my new viewer layout:

I already tried to switch mode, but it's pretty much doing the same thing.

I usually don't see whole numbers either, seems to me that's intended behaviour.
As for "page by page display", paged mode should do exactly that, so...

There are no 'pages' in a normal EPUB, mostly because the font size can change.
the point values are the screen progress for the section (current file)

I split files by chapter, so the point numbers start over every new chapter/

An ePub read with RMSDK has pages.

Not really. They are FIXED SIZED BLOCKS OF TEXT(that are numbered).

You could see that only for each "chapter" by selecting "Pages in Chapter" in Header/Footer. The floating numbers are used for Position in Chapter/Book.

Please note that when you change the font size or/and screen size, the number of pages in "Pages in Chapter" change accordingly, while the "position" remains the same. The "position" is also the same across devices. I like it.
