The Sony PRS-950's two page mode is a pretty nice way to read in Landscape. (See image, not a very clear one.) But the shape of the 950's is unique in eInk readers, I think.

I certainly wouldn't be against any option for it so everyone can have it their way, but it's just something I myself wouldn't use.
I don't use Landscape mode much on my Tolino Page, Kindles or Sonys, except I found it useful when I had maps in fantasy novels or diagrams or photos in non-fiction books. But, obviously, I don't use it that much because I didn't even know Kobos didn't have landscape mode.
