Interesting enough, that's one of the details I like about both Surface tablets.
In landscape, it's great for browsing some websites.
In portrait, I favor the narrowness. I loved my Sony 900 for example for the very same reason.
I'm not so much a fan of iPads almost quadratic 4:3 ratio.
But I admit: I'm not reading much on any tablets. For an entire book, Surfaces probably really would be too narrow and offer not enough information per page.
But for my Zinio or Spiegel magazines or stuff like that it's fine.

Probably, I'm a special kind of user: One hour with this unit, one hour with another one.
Right now for example I've switched from the tiny Nvidia Shield to the enormous Surface Pro. Different tasks, different tools...
