I was lucky to get a fast answer - but with your code I don't get the right result:
-- start your code
\startmode[booklet] \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2SIDE] \stopmode \starttext First page \startmode[booklet] \null \page \stopmode etc. \stoptext

With your code I get:
1 2 first page of the pdf 3 4 second 5 6 third 7 8 fourth
But I want to get:
1 first page of the pdf (coverpage) 2 3 second 4 5 third 6 7 fourth 8 fifth (coverpage)
I know how to use with modes - but the answer must be an other.
Maybe I have to explain it more clearly:
on the first PDF-Page (A5) there should be only the cover-page (page 1) \setuppapersize[A5][A5]
\setuparranging[1SIDE]%<- I don't know how to write it - nothing was working
On the second PDF-Page there should be page 2 and page 3 \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape]
\setuparranging[2SIDE]
It must be a problem lot's of people have when they make a book with ConTeXt and want to make a second PDF-version for the Internet.
If you don't mind creating another file to convert a given double sided pdf into the above format, you can use the following (pseudo code, untested, and might have typos) get number of pages in the pdf \getfiguredimensions[filename] \edef\NOfPages{\noffigurepages} insert the first page \startTEXpage[height=(A5 height}, width=(A5 width)] \externalfigure[filename][page=1] \stopTEXpage loop and insert all but the last page (you may have to test if the number of pages are odd or even and use \numexpr(\NOfPages - 1) to find the last but one page: \dostepwiserecurse{2}{2}{\LastButOnePage} { \startTEXpage[height=(A5 height), width=(A4 height)] \expanded{\externalfigure[filename][page=\recurselevel]}% \expanded{\externalfigure[filename][page=\numexpr\recurselevel+1\relax]}% \stopTEXpage } If the number of pages is even, insert last page.
