epub or kepub does not have "pages", only plain formatted text. so you'll still get 2 pages of 6" ereader but only in continuous text. That is because html is formatted text anyway and doesnt have "pages". if you are using any other format of the document (pdf, cbr/cbz) you will get one page per view, and that is suitable for big screen, as pages in those documents are "pictures" of the page.

----edit----
Imho, objective of the ereader is to have printed book quality on electronic device that can carry more books in the bag, then the bag itself, with options to change fonts, font sizes, etc...
