You can't do that,
simply because MOBI newspapers and magazines are NOT reflowable. They are a form of fixed-format--and thus, not adjustable to landscape. That's why. To change that, you'll have to download the files, deal with DRM, unpack them, analyze them, and then completely recode them into reflowable, not fixed-layout, eBooks/magazines.
Honestly--I wouldn't take that gig for
a pile of money. I've dealt with a crapload of "make this FXL file into reflowable," and as the two are practically unrelated, DNA-wise, in the sense that a daffodil and a platypus are unrelated....that's a boatload of work. A BOATLOAD. You'll have to really, really love those magazines!!!
But good luck to you.
