It might be a preference (as someone else pointed out) but, the "getting more words on a page" is a completely invalid/incorrect discussion point.
That is how my Mom describes it. Her description might not be accurate. I would not be surprised it that was the case given that it sure looks like the effects of margins are going to be lessened in landscape then in the regular mode.

Admitting that my initial description was imprecise...

My Mother finds it easier to read using landscape then using the regular format. She thinks that she gets more words on the page.

And graphs and images are larger in landscape. At least they are on the Kindle.
