Those triangles are mostly distractions and should be discarded. Best to keep the reader as clean as possible. | 7 | 28.00% | |
Those triangles are useful reminding me to click in margins. Otherwise who would think to click in margins? | 18 | 72.00% | |

Calibre 4 Ebook Reader -- "Next," "Previous" Triangles
As said previously, no need for those triangles.
All the youngsters have caught on that left and right margins move you backward and forward. The triangles are merely distractions, taking away from a clean reading window. Seriously. Thanks! Nicholas Kormanik |

Had there been a 'Don't care" option I would have selected it.
BTW: given your thread has nothing to do with calibre news downloads I moved it from the Recipes sub-forum into the main Calibre forum. BR |

There's a missing option in the poll. There needs to be a third option. We need a don't use the triangles.

"Don't use" = "No need"
"Don't care" = "No need" Remember, Kovid's stated objective was to keep the interface CLEAN and UNCLUTTERED. |

This thread belongs in a monomania forum, if we had one. The forum icon would be a triangle, of course.

I vote the arrows serve a purpose and should definitely remain. |

I don't CARE that they are there right now. I might NEED these later. FWIW I use the spacebar to page when I preview a book (I do my main READ on my readers) |

I don't use the triangles. If someone else uses them, good on them. I personally have the margins set to 4/4/4/4 which makes it hard to hover on the margin for any length of time and makes the triangles miniscule.
Not to mention I seem to remember a discussion back in October where the OP did not want the triangles-- ah, there it is. Calibre 4 Ebook Reader -- Don't Show "Next," "Previous" Triangles started on Oct. 3rd, 2019. Last edited by DNSB; 12-05-2019 at 01:00 PM. |

If I join the Anti-Triangle League, do I get a special uniform, or a pin or something? I'm definitely open to bribes that would lead me to having some sort of martial ranking. I've always been partial to "His Supreme Excellence, Overlord General Marshal Emperor Bookstooge".

My sense is that some here are not taking this matter seriously.
