That is one thing that made me keep the iPad over the others. The aspect ratio is much nicer than the wide screen versions. I do as well frequently turn it to be portrait for reading. I agree that responding to tweets, emails or forums and the like that don't require more than a few sentences is completely acceptable for me as well. I am just saying, for me, its the one I would give up first, but I do currently choose to keep it.

To each their own, I guess - I specifically wanted the wide screen aspect ratio because of reading a lot of documents. I have a nice PDF application that automatically zooms to the text instead of the margins, though.

  Reading is the reason I enjoy the portrait aspect ratio. Its the same reason my main desktop monitor is a 23" rotated in portrait (vertical) mode, 2048px high. I think we are saying the same thing, no?

    Not exactly - you like the 4:3 aspect ratio, but I prefer the 16:9 because he margins on most documents are too wide.

      Yes, but it seems we agree on 2 things. 1 : portrait is better, be it 4:3 or 16:9 2 : back to the original post, we like our tablets
