but for everything else, magazines, PDF, web browing etc, Landscape mode DOES work.

soo let's keep this honest Joe OK
That's what I said, ability to read epub books in lanscape, not PDF documents.

People who read poetry and technical books need landscape mode. Such feature is missing right now on Nook Color. Even Kindle 3 has landscape mode and it's not a tablet. For that price, it's unacceptable, giving the case the hardware has an accelerometer.

OP wants to know what the device offers now, not speculations.
