Speaking as an ocassional web-pages author: I would apreaciate if I 
could css-declare: "body {column-count:1}", and as a consequence get an 
"e-book reader" like page behavior, meaning:

1. vertical scroller *disapear*, and column height hard-equal to the 
current viewport height.

2. horizontal scroller show up (if content overflows the one visible column)

3. scroll the content "page by page" horizontally ... with a little of 
"sticky gravity" at the column-edge to viewport-vertical-edge alignment.

... and have it consistantly that way if I choose other then "1" for a 
number of columns.
