I'v the latest offcial firmware and when I turn my kobo on landscape, I only have one page, not like in the video , you can see on the 40th sec of this new videos, he gots a great double page.
That video does appear to be using the Kobo software, but it appears to be a kepub, rather than a CBR or CBZ. If you watch all the way through, it starts on the details page and later shows the menus and light control popus. So, it is being read in the Kobo software. But, the book is a preview from the shop. You can tell this because on the details page, the button next to the cover has what appears to be a price. Then when the menu bars are displayed, the same price and button are shown in the bottom bar.

I do have a manga in my list of previews. And it is behaving in the same way. When I force landscape mode on my Aura ONE, I get a two page display like the. Sideloading a CBZ doesn't do this. For the purchased kepub I am currently reading, it doesn't go into two page modes when I go to landscape. I assume there is something in the kepub for the comic that triggers this behaviour.

And looking at the database on the device, the content table for the pages have the column "properties" set to either "page-spread-left" or "page-spread-right". It doesn't appear to be as simple as adding those, but, it's a starting point for anyone who wants to investigate.
