two page reading, text flow show be on the visible area #199

The text from the left side should flow on to the right side for the visible area (window); bookworm, currently displays the whole chapter in one 2 column page.

If text is not flowing to the right side, then 2 page feature is basically one page reading, i.e., we can only read text on the left side, and not read on the right side, until we completely read the full left side first, and again we have to go back to the top right to start reading. This unlike many android book readers do.

We should be able to read text from left to right. that's more natural.

@fastrizwaan Agree with your view. The problem is linked with Issue #170

If I get the pagination done then there will be no vertical scrolling and this problem will not arise. I will keep this issue open to check how two page rendering is working when Bookworm displays pages and not chapters.
