You ever surf the Internet using cell? I mean classic cell phone, not the smart and touch and stylus one? It's completely like that. When the screen is smaller than what it is displaying, it's driving me crazy

Is that the case or did I get this wrong?
Nah nah, landscape mode is better by a bit, however it doesn't solve the problem perfectly. In landscape mode you don't see the page simply by halves. You see it in 3 parts overlaping each other and... Duh. And that is spoken considering books with no illustration/graphs/... Even more parts if they have tables and images.

The mode is good if you're using the web feature, but reading books in that mode is horrible. A good book would turn completely unbearable, IMHO.
