(like if it was a paper comic).
There are several CBR/CBZ readers. My preference is for ComicZeal, due to its ability to organise comics into collections, although it does not offer a two-page view. Bookman offers a two-page landscape view, and CloudReaders offers a continuous landscape view, although you have to tap twice to change two pages at once. Neither of these have the organisation options that ComicZeal does though.
I find that for standard western comics, a single-page (portrait) view is completely readable. A two-page (landscape) view is on the edge of readability, ok for most comics, but small text will be an issue.
