The Nexus 7 makes this psychologically even worse for me by having thich bezels on the top and bottom which make it seem even more tall and skinny.
This is especially noticeable when reading things like comics or magazines which take advantage of tablets' colour screens and fast CPUs.

Although I too prefer 4:3 for reading on, it's perhaps worth noting that the aspect ratio of most Android tablets (which is generally 16:10, rather than 16:9) is actually rather closer to the aspect ratio of the page of the typical paperback book.
I do most of my reading on the Onyx T68, which is an Android tablet with a 4:3 eInk screen.
