Why muck with a aspect ratio that has been in use for 50+ years
Because it doesn't work for what I want to read - I don't care about aspect ratio for novels - but the game rulebooks and comics that don't reflow don't come in 9:16.

It all comes down to usage patterns - and 4:3 is better for mine than 16:9.
