Is it just a hack to add the Microsoft Chinese Yahei font:

That is what I gather from the Savethefile link in one of the discussions. And from the google translation page, I understood that they indeed added that Chinese font and hacked the fb2 reader to get that nice result.
I have to try the fb2 format to see if I can get english texts to print over two columns.

As far as I know, the V3 can already display Chinese characters, and the newest version of CoolReader has an option for a two-column display in horizontal display mode. So all they probably needed to do is to hack the firmware to use the newest CoolReader for displaying fb2 files.
I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will correct me if I'm wrong, though. :-)
