What is expected and what is the current behaviour?

Epubs from humble bundle have landscape orientation option when using Send To Kindle. So it means I can read two pages side by side in landscape mode. There's probably something in the epub metadata that enables this. I don't have epub experience myself.

Looks like we support it on Kobo as of #328 @Kolakona

Feel free to modify the code to see if it works the same on kindle as well.

Looking at a Humble Bundle standard.opf inside an EPUB we can see right page and left page specifications.

<meta property="rendition:layout">pre-paginated</meta>
<meta property="rendition:orientation">auto</meta>
<meta property="rendition:spread">auto</meta>

<spine toc="ncx" page-progression-direction="rtl">

<itemref linear="yes" idref="p_cover" properties="rendition:page-spread-center" />
<itemref linear="yes" idref="p_0000" properties="page-spread-right" />
<itemref linear="yes" idref="p_0001" properties="page-spread-left" />

Took a look at it and was pretty much the same for the kindle. Made a PR #567 @axu2
