Please allow smooth scrolling flow through chapter breaks

In the ebook viewer I want to simply scroll through all the text, generally with the mouse wheel. Almost all my books are .EPUB format.

I've found the settings to allow scrolling within a chapter, but I still get full-screen jumps at chapter breaks. Because I never know in advance where a chapter will end, I'm constantly overshooting into the next chapter and have to back up.

SO: Please allow smooth flow scrolling including from chapter to chapter.

In other words, minimal break... maybe a couple of lines of white space. The different font used for chapters is plenty of indication that I'm in a new one.

Thanks for a great app.

I don't believe that is possible as chapters are commonly another file that has to be loaded and rendered.

Instead of scroll wheel, try using the spacebar (text must have focus). That steps a screen full (a couple of previous lines are still showing)

But I want to scroll, not page.

And the fact that a new file has to be opened should, AFAIK, not affect where on the screen that data is painted. There could be a slight delay but that's fine.

Basically, when I'm scrolling, I don't want the book to suddenly jump a page. It's that simple.

When I scroll back a little to recover, I always overshoot and have to approach the end of the chapter again, more cautiously.

So every chapter end is a minor hassle.

SO - I still request the option to have no break between chapters when scrolling. Putting the new chapter heading in bold and colored text is fine, as is done now; just don't lose my place.

[Not using bold to yell, just to create s TL;DR]

Thanks
