calibre's ebook-viewer works mostly OK for me on 1920x1080 for EPUB. It automatically shows 2 columns for a large enough window and aspect ratio and for full screen. (I read somewhere that the viewer will silently make an EPUB conversion of azw3.) 3840x2160 shows 4 columns, which is not what I'm looking for in books with large images.

Some books must must be getting cute with layout and various text areas overlap each other, but mosts books look great. Trying for screencasting no longer interests me.
