What is the pagination strategy?
CSS columns have several problems
Per platform or cross-platform?

From Jean-Marie:

Here is the code snippet that does the trick:
<body style="overflow:-webkit-paged-x; overflow:paged-x;"> 
It flies!!! Tested on huge pages on Android devices. Instant display, blazing-fast horizontal scroll.

It was implemented in 2012, I didn't know that. https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/126343

It works. But I have another question. How to get total number of pages?

HadrienGardeur commented 1 year ago

We don't use "pages" in Readium because this concept only works for pre-paginated media such as EPUB FXL or PDF.

We use positions instead, which are computed when you first load an EPUB. You can request the total number of positions as a replacement for total number of pages.
