maybe. or maybe not.
you could also have the .pdf open to the "last" page,
which would be the first page in a right-to-left form
of writing, and then navigate to subsequent pages by
pressing cursor-left.
i'm not sure how the page-up and page-down keys
_should_ map to a book that was arranged this way.
it's an interesting thing to think about, somewhat akin
to knowledge that "north" is not _really_ "up" in space,
just because that's the way we always make our maps...
