Hi Michael,

It seems that the purpose of multicolumn layaut is to display more relevent text on the screen area.

But current implementation of multicolumn text in ePUBreader which forces the reader to do serpantine-like scrolling defeats this purpose because in cases when chapter is long the fragments of columns which will be displayed on screen area will not be relevant to each other.

The implementation of multicolumn layout is done right in Lucifox/Lucidor - there multicolumn text is only so much high as the screen and the reeader sees only pieces of text which are relevant to each other. In this inplementation scrolling is done horizontally.
