Does anyone have any brand 7" Android tablet with Kindle on it? If so, can you tell me when viewing a book in landscape mode, do the pages split like a normal book so you have for example page 2 and 3 side by side or is it a single page view? 

Thanks

I have a 10" Archos android with kindle on it and it just spaces the text across the entire page. I can't imagine it would different with a 7"

Thanks, as we look at a 7" Galaxy Tab today that split the eBook into two pages across the screen. Would rather have one page spread across the screen.

I think it would depend on which application you are using on the tablet. The formatting will be application rather than hardware specific.

I have a Galaxy Tab and use the Kindle app. When I turn it to Landscape it just shows the one page.
