web browsing because you can utilize more screen real estate from left to right, less panning and makes text easier to read without have to pinch to zoom as much.

For photo's more and more camera's even in smartphones taking wide angle shots is becoming more prevalant. I would rather see black bars only just my 4:3 shots and then have to see black bars on my wide angle shots.

I would think with most reading is a smaller percantage of usage of a tablet as opposed to all the other multimedia functinality of it. If I'm only going to read less than 10% of the device I would be sacrificing a more enjoyable experience the rest of the 90% of the time.
