so if you view the book in a 2 page at a time viewer, the 2 pages will form as a "square" - well sort-of anyway. I guess that is the derivation

I would think that effect would be near impossible in a e-book because of flow,character widths and font resizing.
I don't think I have seen that in practice. Besides, it would be most obvious when pages oppose.
Many of my OLD paperbacks did not Start a new chapter on a fresh page, just a new heading, Like Calibres viewer in
Scroll mode
