Mark new text when scrolling
When I'm reading an ebook I often find myself looking where to continue. I mean this:
1. I read untill the last word on my screen, 2. then I scroll with my mouse (once or twice) and the text moves up for a number of lines, 3. consequently me eyes go upward to look for that last word, in order to continue reading. This is annoying. I would like to have a visual indicator where I have to continue reading. For example a small line between the old and new lines, or a (temporal) highligt of the first new word. Now I don't know if this should be a plugin or a feature of the main program. This is my first post on the forum. But I guess this place on the forum is a promising one If such a feature already existst, please tell me. I could not find it anywhere. |

Thanks for the tip!
It doesn't completely solve my problem because I'm used to scrolling. But it is a big step in the right direction because it refreshes the whole page. |

For long form reading I strongly recommend paged mode, it is much superior to flow mode (line based scrolling -- an abomination imposed upon us by browsers). Try the paged mode in the viewer preferences under Layout

If you want to use your mouse instead of the keyboard, just enable the toolbar and click next page. Another way with the mouse clicking on the margins right, forward and left, backwards. |
