Hi
For this you have basically two options:
1 - get a new laptop, but now a tabletpc one.
A tabletpc resolves your landscape versus portrait problem as it can rotate the screen and let you read your documents in portrait. Also it lets you with with a digital pen, meaning you can annotate your books, take notes in your meetings, classes, etc, desing in it, and so on.
It does not stop here, as it keeps on being a normal laptop offering all the functionalities one does have.
You have two types of tabletpcs: slate and convertibles.
If you have never seen one, check per example the TV show CSI New York, when they are in the lab and show each other information in a computer that looks like a notepad, that is a slate tabletpc.
A convertible looks like a normal laptop, but rotates the screen and lets one put if on top of the keyboard, looking like a notepad ad prepared for note taking, web navigating, or what ever one want to do with it.
Take note - you will still have the same problem with trying to read on it in the sun;
2 - a Letter/A4 eBook reader
Today the unique ones are from Irex - the iLiad with a 8.1” screen and the Digital Reader with a 10” screen.
Announced for sometime in the summer is also the Kindle DS with a 10” screen.
Info about these second option and personal experiences, you should check the respective forums here.
Best regards,
