[Heathside Boy]

I am reading the book ‘The Elements of Style’ via Calibre in EPUB format.

At some points in the book it gives examples of correct sentences and incorrect sentences.

So it may point out as an example:

In the left-hand column blah blah blah.

In the right-hand column blah blah blah.

These columns are not shown in Calibre on the left and the right side of each other as it states. It would be easier for clarity of reading if they were so.

Rather the columns are all shown jumbled up together with each line underneath each other so I would have to read the 1st, 3rd & 5th line underneath each other. This would donate the left-hand column and the 2nd, 4th & 6th line underneath each other would donate the right-hand column.

You can see from this that this causes confusion in the way it is read.

What I want to know is why the columns are portrayed this way and not as they are supposed to show as on the left and right of each other? Is it because of the EPUB format I am using that they are shown in this way?

What would I need to do so that the columns show in the correct way? Would I need to change it to another format perhaps? If so, what one and how do I go about doing this?

Any answers to this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
