I've got several of my favorite med books in this format.

Are they paged + do they have images ?

I have made a quick survey and there seems to be a library and even Python bindings for reading CHM files - but seem to be quite dated & would need to be ported to Maemo & MeeGo first.

I'm thinking how to control this, maybe:

a simple multiplier that would be 1x by default
multitouch gestures on devices where this is available
corkscrew zoom like in microb
alternate meaning for doubleclick

Also note the images might get quite blurry with zoom larger than the original size.

Mieru should support classic portrait rotation. Check out the corresponding section in Options - you can even force landscape/portrait.

Good point, I'll add the arrows to the keycode list.
