I give up. I'm lost. I don't understand what the question is. If the question is about iBooks, turn the bloody reader. If the question is about ePUBs in general, again, the pagination of two pages versus one page is all about the reading device. Unless you create a fixed-format book (and even then, you'll still get the "page" crack down the middle) for iBooks, you will always get a two-page "look." If you are reading on a Nook or KFire, they have two-page (column) or one-column and auto-rotation settings in their Settings. This has nothing to do with the ePUB itself.

Here, look at all these interior screenshots: http://www.booknook.biz/bk_services/gallery/kindle_fire . Scroll through them all, (menu on the left-hand-side, you can also click and enlarge any image and see its caption as well, or tooltip the caption) looking at the various devices. Particularly look at the Kids' book section (where you'll see more rotated iBooks books). You can see: rotated books on iPads have the two-page "look." That's the way they have it set up. If you make a FF MOBI for KindleFire, you can "force" the "webpage look," but...just use ADE, if that's the big deal, and pick a gigantic font size and size the reading screen appropriately on your desktop.

That's the way it is. If there's another question here, I don't understand what it is.
