The original Surface RT had a horrible aspect ratio. The actual screen is about 9.5" x 5.25", so it is almost double as wide as it is tall, in the normal orientation. It's really too narrow to be comfortable for reading in the portrait orientation. As a tablet, it just doesn't really work.
If you grew up in North America, the 4:3 ratio probably feels the most natural because it's closest to the standard 8.5"x11" Letter paper size that almost every sheet of paper you've dealt with in school is.
