Two columns display in the viewer? again...?

[pollito pito]

Some time ago fento asked:

Is it possible, maybe be using a custom CSS stylesheet in the configuration of the viewer, that the text is shown in two columns?

To what kovidgoyal said that it might be possible since calibre uses webkit for rendering the books.

Well, it is possible. Sort of. Here is my custom CSS:

body
{
color:rgb(0,0,0) !important;
background-color:rgb(228,226,224);
text-align:justify;
line-spacing:1.8;
margin-top:1px;
margin-bottom:1px;
margin-right:10px;
margin-left:10px;

-webkit-column-count: 2;
-webkit-column-gap: 1em;
-webkit-column-rule: 1px dotted;

height: 650px;
width:1200px

text-indent: 2em;
}
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6
{
color:black;
text-align:center;
font-style:italic;
font-weight:bold;
}

As you can see, essentially what I am doing is generating a very wide
page by constraining the height.
In this manner I can see two pages on the screen, but to
get to the next two, I have to scroll to the right .


Can someone come with a better solution?
Thanks.

PS: May be it’s just femto and myself using Calibre as the only ebook application, including for reading?

Can't help with the scrolling, but you can dispense with the width and use a percent for the height. 90-95% works well.
If you are a Mac user you might try this: http://amarsagoo.info/tofu/ I don't know if it supports epub but I used it years ago when I was still a Mac user myself.
