It would need to be someone who is familiar with the code to answer, it probably goes by too quickly to see it by eye.
The Calibre flow works differently. When you move to the next book in the sequence to the right, for example, the centre book moves to the left turning its right edge away from the viewer to end up angled away, with the binding nearer the viewer.

The book to the right, previously angled away with its left edge in the distance, moves into the centre by bringing its left edge forwards into place.

At no point does the centre book turn into a vertical line. If the iPad does that, I'd say the Calibre method was better as you can clearly see the centre three covers at all times.
