Hi Michael,
Vertical scrolling of multicolumn text is OK, but only in cases when the height of the page is comparable to the height of the screen (i.e. multicolumn text height does not exceed more than 1.5-2 x compared to the height of the screen). When the height of the multicolumn text exceed the height of the screen many times (this will always happen while reading long chapters) the poor usability will result: the reader will scroll one column to the end then to begin to read the next column he will be forced to scroll back to the beginning of the first column.

In my opinion horizontal scrolling is bad usability, I've seen this never before.

Please try
Lucifox add-on for Firefox or
standalone Lucidor ePUB reader: in then multicolumn text has horizontal scrollbar.
