Ummm, I know that not all graphic novels use rectangular panes, but even non-rectangular panes can be contained in a rectangle. So a reflowable GN format could store each pane separately, with metadata indicating the correct order, and a guide on relative positioning so that a reading device could show the panes in the right order, and with as many on screen as possible/desired.

Maybe the CBZ format does this. I suppose I should try one of their samples in that format.
