It will be wonderful if EPUBReader can support such text layout in the future.

Hese is some demonstration of my ideas. It's using my personally patched FBReader.
Hi Eric, first of all sorry for my late answer. I've been in vacation and didn't have internet access .

As it seems to be possible using HTML and CSS, it should be possible to do this in EPUBReader. I'll put it on the change list.
