I think this is a chicken and egg issue. I know I bought my Kobo originally for ease of carrying around technical/ref info and then discovered I loved reading on it but wasn't as excited about the pdf handling of my reference material (better than having to boot a computer, but more of a pain than I figured it would be). I suspect there are lots of people that do/would use it for reference material. Since it obviously is capable of displaying it landscape (does so with pdf) it should only be a software tweak to make it work for e-pub. I know I'd like it.
