[Feature Request] option to display pages instead of scrolling #134

Checklist

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I prefer "page"-turning to scrolling when I read ebooks, but if this is an option in Myne I can't find it.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would love an option in the Settings menu to switch between displaying in pages and displaying in scrolling format.

How will you/everyone benefit from this feature?

To me, pages are the main advantage all the various DRM/ad-ridden ebook readers have over Myne at the moment. This option would make switching away from those apps much smoother.

The thing is, unlike typical ebook readers where each chapter is divided into multiple pages and users navigate between them horizontally, Myne simply divides the book into chapters and navigates through them vertically by scrolling. Therefore, there is no concept of pages here. That's why we have a progress bar at the top of the ebook reader to track the progress of specific chapters, as there are no pages to count in the first place.

Ah, I see. Thank you anyway!
