1. a pain in the neck on 505, because the lower lines are half-invisible & page turn is a lot slower.
2. you will have to turn pages a lot more often than in portrait mode.
I think the point is that with a taller screen a larger font will still allow you to have more lines per page than a smaller screen. You'll have the same number of words per line if the width is the same, but still more content per page.
