Max Height in Calibre Viewer

Having tried an number of different epub readers for my windows 8 tablet, I've now settled on the Calibre viewer in full screen mode now that is has decent touch support.

The one item I'd like to see (and I'm not sure if many people would find it useful) is the ability to set a "Maximum text height in full screen" the same way the maximum width works.

My reasoning is as follows, the way I read I find the extra tall page rendered on a widescreen tablet in portrait mode hard to read (I can't really explain why, it just is)
I've set top and bottom margin to simulate the maximum height, but that is a hard setting, so switching to landscape mode I end up with only a few lines on screen as my margins are taking up the rest. If the max height worked the same as the max width it wouldn't require changing the settings when switching from portrait to landscape.

And IMHO the Caibre viewer is really head and shoulders better than almost all the other readers I've tried on the tablet even without a max height)
