but you see, if you turn a netbook sideways...
I only read in portrait mode. FBReader supports it directly and remembers your settings, whereas other apps will require a secondary program like irotate or eeerotate(hopefully Adobe et al will address this in future versions). I find landscape far too distracting, but FBReader in portrait mode delivers a very book-like experience.
