No, most people would just take the default, but it would be nice to have the option.

Perhaps I wasn't clear. My point is that, given the attached picture (assuming it was intended to be viewed in large size), none of the two options is optimal, as both assume some default screen orientation, which may or may not be altered by the user. I wouldn't care if ePUB readers allowed the user to select a picture in the book and display it fullscreen in the optimal orientation (or not), but I haven't seen that option in the Adobe engine (and I wish there were some competition here).
