display text in horizontal, in two columns
Hi,

It seems easier to me to handle the kobo H2O 90° left (with the wide bottom in my right hand). Thus i’m wondering if displaying the text vertically in two columns is possible via the kobo_extra.css or by another way.

From the discussion I have seen about getting an epub to display as to columns in any reader, the answer is no. From memory, it either needs support from the reader, or different code in the book.

Strange indeed. But reading at 10px seems heroic to me

I found this. I test it in calibre, and the text is effectively 90° left but when I put the book on the kobo, it’s another story (it’s totally messed up)

I have this with FBreader on Android on my tablet, in horizontal position the text is split into two columns.

The Kobo reader on Android has the same behavior; landscape orientation automatically shows two pages side-by-side.
