Perhaps, but if so then only for a very specific screen and font size. If the user selects a large enough font on a small enough screen, and you won't be able to fit both columns on the screen, side by side, as the author intended.
Many books do very well within the confines of what current ebook formats provide. However, many texts benefit from a more fixed format -- as evidenced by, among other things, magazines on the Kindle vs tablets.
Dumbing down a sophisticated layout to basic text boxes and pictures is like listening to Mahler's
Das Lied Von de Erde on a $5 mono transistor radio.
