According to last week’s eBook orientation poll, a whopping 75 percent of our readers prefer reading in eBooks in portrait view mode (pictured). We will keep the poll open to see how reading habits evolve.
In comparison, only seventeen percent of our readers read in landscape double-sided view and a bare eight percent prefer reading in plain old landscape mode.
What have we learned? eBook makers should make sure the portrait version of their book is clean, fast, and readable. This GalleyCat editor has also learned that he should encourage his tablet eReading friends to try the landscape double-sided view–the most underrated of all reading styles.
