Oh well, each to his/her own.

I think, so far there is only one 6.8" reader in the world - Aura HD ?

You know, in Cool Reader I have two profiles - for landscape and for portrait.
So I can switch landscape/portrait instantly - at the same time margin sizes are changed correspondingly. So I tried reading in both orientations and there is no question that I like landscape much better - it simply resembles a half of a page or a real printed book.
And of course, landscape has this huge advantage that it is much easier to hold the book without the danger of it slipping from your hand and dropping and breaking. Again, the cover is wedged between 5,4 fingers outside and 3 finger inside, with 2 finger on top and 1 finger in front, also used to turn pages. Works for both hands, but to turn pages with the right hand you need to set up the tap zone in the right top corner, with the left hand - using a button (I swapped the next/previous buttons for perfect placement)

But if you tried it and did not like it, well, I do not understand it, but I do understand that people have different tastes and preferences.
