The dots are called "dot leaders" or "dot fills". That may also help you search for other solutions (although I don't believe any of these would work in actual EPUB readers).

I don't think you have to be married to a print-style layout, as long as the information is clearly displayed. Dot leaders are a sink-hole in reflowable epub, as you are discovering. Too many ways for the swamp to suck them down....]

I agree.
