Here are some limitations:
  • If possible I want this to work in Mobipocket, which means no side margins.
  • In order to duplicate the paper book this effect needs to be used on one screen and then stop.



So is it possible?
Try the following in HTML. Take the text you want on a special page, create a separate HTML file, with the spec's you want. Embed a hyperlink to it from the main text. I think when you return, it will reset to the calling files HTML definitions....
