next/previous chapter

[kcarscadden]

I read my epub books on my phone using Chrome using the viewer from the Calibre server. This works very well for me, except that besides next/previous page controls to the right and left of the screen, there is also next/previous chapter controls at the top and bottom. Unfortunately, because of the size of the screen, I occasionally swipe the wrong part of the screen and get to the next chapter rather than the next page. To get back to where I was in the last chapter, I either go back to the beginning of the chapter and search forward to where I was page by page, or go back page by page, either of which is a pain if I was in the middle of a long chapter.

Is there some quicker way to go back to the page I was reading, or is there some way to disable the next/prev chapter controls?

Swipe down goes to next chapter, swipe up goes to previous chapter.

You can change from page mode to flow mode to change swipe behaviour.

viewer prefencenes--page layout.

Choose the page layout mode. In paged mode, the text is split up into individual pages, as in a paper book. In flow mode text is presented as one long scrolling page, as in web browsers.
