Multi-Column Text and Page Break Manipulation

All body text and lists are formatted as single-column text in the current version of the Reader. The Open eBook specification suggests that the CSS style-property OEB-column-number be used to implement this function, but this property is not supported in Versions 1 and 1.5 of Microsoft Reader.
