Is it just me, or is the font bigger in landscape? I had to make it smaller when I switched and I never read with it on the smallest font. It does work out great - when I hold it in my left hand my thumb naturally rests on the page advance button.
I don't know if the font is bigger when tilted...I just prepare the file for viewing in landscape mode so the typography isn't too bad, so I never have to do a screen rotate with the magnify button. It displays the page in portrait, but with the text rotated and vertically aligned.

I agree about the thumb resting on the button pretty naturally in landscape, and also about the corner biting into the palm when holding in portrait mode. It's a bit unfortunate that they designed it so poorly for the hands that it needs a cover or case or some kind of accessory to be tolerable.
