It seems that some android phones have a menu key on the right. Mine has 
a "recent apps" key there, so I can't test this. I would like to add 
code to support the menu key, but I just discovered that there is a Qt 
bug preventing this.

I will look at using a swipe to switch windows. You can set the Window 
Arrangement to show tabs for each window. I can use up to 4 tabbed 
windows on my Nexus 5 phone. More on the Nexus 7 tablet.

I have not seen the garbled screen, but I have noted the slow response 
in the Bookshelf Manager. I will look further into this.

Noted. I will add font change to the TODO list.

Thanks very much for the report.
