comics in landcape

Recently obtained an Aura HD. When reading some comics had to resort to rotating the image 90 degrees to read some of it. Wasn't quite satisfied, but did pick up a few tricks I thought you might find useful.

1. Don't rotate 90 degrees, rotate two more times for 270 degrees. This means the view of the next page will always start at the top, instead at the bottom with the 90 degree rotation.

2. Zoom in just a little, or otherwise you'll not be given the option to move the page around

I'm not reading comics, but I had noticed that problem when I had tested this. That's a nice simple workaround

And that would be an annoying bug if you are reading comics all the time.

Yes, that is really annoying because then you have to scroll in every direction to read the whole page.
To limit the scrolling into one direction, and thus making reading of comics and pdfs a lot easier, a fit to width should be enough. So you only have to scroll vertically and not horizontally.
But when fit to width or height is chosen it is impossible to scroll to the not visable part of the page. This is one of my most annoying bugs because it makes reading of pdf on a small screen a hassle.
