So, the home screen, library lists, settings and everything else is in landscape mode. They work, but are by no means perfect. I suspect that putting the option in a Forma will also activate the landscape mode for the non-reading screens, but I haven't tried.

And it's about time this was posted as I couldn't.
Yeah for me it’s perfect because I have no problems with the other screens being in landscape as well. It’s all about the reading
But I agree it’s far from optimal for the home screen. Even the lock screen is in landscape now. It’s all working but it seems to be the portrait mode layout stretched out.

I understand you had to keep quiet, hopefully more people get to use this now it’s out in the open.
