Cross page highlights
Is it possible to take highlights across pages?
For example, I am on a mobile device and I start highlighting text. If I reach the end of the page with my text selection, I'd like the rendition to move to the next page and continue the selection. In this way, a highlight can be spread across 2 or more pages.
You need to compare the selection range to the current location and turn to the next page if needed. I have a simple example here: https://github.com/johnfactotum/epubjs-tips#select-across-pages-when-using-paginated-layout. Note that this might not work if you're using CSS auto-hyphenation and the page ends on a hyphen because Epub.js calculates the current visible range based on words, not characters.
Thank you, @johnfactotum, this looks exactly like what I need.
However, on mobile devices I keep hitting this issue - #1343 The columns shift to the side, so the view displays half of the current and previous pages. Any ideas for a workaround? I can't figure out why this is happening.

I did not find a solution. If you do, please let me know.
