I do not really know what sort of babies you're used to talk with, but I prefer it to monosyllabic language.
Talking about (probably?) serious things:

I do not really understand why you're using the CSS multi-column layout. It's used to divide horizontally the content of an element in more than one column, not to divide it vertically in more than one page. Can you explain me this?
Anyway, I added
PHP Code:
-moz-column-count: 4;
-webkit-column-count: 4;
to the #content element of the previous testcase and I do not see any problem in Firefox or Chromium. I can rise this value to 11 without problems. I think i's enough since your ebook reader divide it to only 3 pages.

Again, I do not understand why you're talking about
horizontal reflowing. Furthermore what you said is not entirely true: you can reflow the content of an element without problems as far as the new width of the reflowed contents does not exceed the width of the element, as I demonstrated above.
Ideally you do not want to use fixed layouts, especially for ebooks, but this is not a perfect world. On the contrary we'll simply have all documents in one rigorous format and we'll not need Calibre.
What kind of rendering engine do you use for Calibre?
