Nahh. In some ways, the ebook display gizmo /adds/ to the format
problems rather than helping.

The document looks like it is a square booklet. When you open its
booklet pages at the spine as they did, then the aspect ratio becomes
2:1, which is too wide even for your 16:10 aspect ratio iMac.

Then on top of that, the ebook display gizmo comes along and puts its
page handling 'arrows' on the *outside* of the too wide format, meaning
that you /now/ need 2.5 units of horizontal screen per 1 unit of
vertical so that you have the page turning 'handles' on your screen.

The 'ideal' screen aspect for the ebook gizmo for the Trend doc would be
5:2, a ridiculous ratio.

Considering that my screen is 1280x1024 or 5:4, I would need 2 screens
side by side to embrace such a 5:2 ratio.
