I bet your screen is bigger than 800x600, 1366x720, 1024 x 768 and is either 1920x1080, 1920 x 1200 or 2K or 4K and 15″ or larger? Do you mean 1200 x 768 or portrait 768 x 1200? If so you are viewing on 2K or 4K screen if at 100% zoom. Won't work on a 1920 x1200 unless there is no window (full screen projector/presentation mode).
Readers on a desktop are only to preview TOC, links etc. Real testing is on phones, tablets and dedicated ereaders. No one reads books etc on a laptop or desktop it they have an alternative.
We test
new styles / layout on a 4.3″ Android phone (Aldiko), 5″ Sony 800x600 ereader, Kindle Keyboard 3 (6″ 800 x 600, mobi/KF7 and azw3), Kindle DXG (9.7″ 150 dpi Mobi only limited fonts), Kindle PW3, Kobo 7″ & 8″, Android eInk KOReader 6.8″, Android Lithium & Pocketbook on 6″ & 10″. Testing of new ebook content using existing styles is only done on Calibre Viewer (for TOC and links) and on an 8″ Kobo Sage (used to proof & annotate).
We don't do kids picture books or Graphic novels or Comics so no fixed Layout. One text book was done in epub2, and was OK converted to mobi and azw3.
I've done one family history as reflowable epub2.
We take final proofed content for epub and reformat the wordprocessor source for desired size paper and export that as PDF.
