Hmmm you've got a point. I don't know why I assumed I'd get two pages in landscape mode. Maybe because someone stated somewhere that holding the device in landscape mode with thumb on the page turn buttons in would be like reading a paperback...

I agree with you on the Word side by side thing, but I do believe that's quite different. (E.g. much bigger pages and either scrolling up and down involved or text too small to read.)

In any case, on an ereader in landscape mode I'd prefer two pages side by side. I'd hate reading reeeeally wide sentences all the way across the screen.

In The Netherlands, the price will be 279.99EUR, which is currently 246.15GBP or 457.63AUD.

To be honest I didn't realise there was such a huge price difference until Lynx-lynx' post... 299.99CAD is currently 200.76EUR 😳
