Hang on: epub is xhtml based. Couldn't you use a table with two columns? Perhaps a table for each chapter. Not ideal, but a possible solution. I'll give it a try.
Tables have all sorts of problems. Many devices will truncate a table at the bottom of a screen, for example.

Genuine multi-column text is, I believe, a part of the ePub 3 standard, but there's no current reading device which will do it.
