All my Kindles have the option to read in landscape mode, with no accelerometer. I use it all the time. I don't tend to switch to and from landscape very frequently. My Oasis2 has auto-orientation, which is useful when switching from left-hand to right-hand reading. Obviously when reading in landscape mode, the device is symmetrical, so there is no need for auto-orientation..
In conclusion: no, landscape mode definitely does not require an accelerometer to really be useful.
