Making an images-only ebook for nook color-- problems

Hi All,

I'm using Calibre to make an image-only Children's epub book for use on the Nook Color. I'm converting it from an html+images source.

The nook color comes preloaded with two Kid's ebooks and they display in landscape mode, with a nice scrolling effect when you turn the pages. I can figure out how to get my eBook in landscape mode, (just rotate the images in an image editor) but, when I view it, there is no nice scroll effect when I turn the pages, plus, the nook still thinks it's in portrait (up and down) mode, and I have to turn the pages by pressing the top and bottom of the nook, which is confusing. I want to turn the pages from the right-hand side like the preloaded kid's books. So, can Calibre do this, or do I have to tweak something? So, my questions are:

(1) how to get the nice scroll effect and
(2) how to force the nook to turn pages from the right-hand side, when viewing in landscape mode.

Thanks for your help
Tom
