jocampo--

My Sony readers do support epubs in landscape mode. But, stock from Sony the landscape mode repeats the last few lines of the ePub on the second screen. How I *think* they've programmed it is simply to take the portrait mode and enlarge it so about half of it fits on the screen as landscape. (I could be totally wrong about this.)

But I've added the PRS+ firmware to my Sonys and that added a "true landscape" mode to the reader. The text of ePubs reflows perfectly to fill the screen with no annoying overlapping. So, it's not the ePub format--just that the developers of the readers for whatever reason choose not to offer a landscape option.
