It looks like Mantano uses its own embedded italic font - probably the same for bold and bold/italic.
Cool reader is the only epub reader I've so far tested that uses the entire font family of a custom font. It also has a setting where you can darken your fonts in increments so your books always look fabulous. Even though Coolreader has no library management, I'm having a hard time letting go of it.

My tablet is 1280x800 and the font has to be tiny to show in two-page mode. I can't imagine it being any smaller than that to accommodate 3 columns.
My vision is not bad (20/25), I don't wear reading glasses and I have trouble with the text that small - I can read it but it's certainly not comfortable. [Shrugs] Maybe tomsem has super vision.

Aldiko handles 2 column landscape the same way as Mantano. However, the font size where aldiko switches to 2 column is usually larger than for Mantano. On my 3.5 inch phone, I've noticed on some books, Mantano never actually switches over to 2 column while on landscape while on some, it does. Weird.

Thanks for this SCION! Using the directions from this site, I was able to access my Calibre library through Mantano.

Also, thanks for the K, I'm going to hit you with some as soon as I get some more!
