I did say ‘particularly on tablets’.
But just because most ereaders are designed to operate in portrait mode due to button placement, they would be considered deficient if landscape were not also available (I believe one of the Kindles launched without it but it was quickly corrected).
For example, I sometimes want to read while jogging on a treadmill without glasses. I need bigger text so I can still read it as I bounce along. And that works better in landscape as the words per line are more optimal. But I don’t want bigger text to persist in Portrait when I’m doing more sedentary reading and have my glasses on.
Typographically the settings
should be different, even if this isn’t something most people consider in practice.
