Landscape is not new to the Kindle, of course, but I agree it could work particularly well with Oasis: 1) left-right symmetry as never before (no logo) 2) buttons are more easily reached since the bezel is minimal on sides 3) cover can function as a stand, and with low center of gravity since it would rest on the 'fat' side.
