I almost always use my ipad 3 and mini in landscape mode. Just wanting to get an idea of how most people use theirs.
Got a tip for us?

Really depends on what I'm using it for. I tend to use it in landscape the most though since it gives more room for webpages and video content. Funny, now that I think about it, it's almost the exact opposite with my iPhone, I never use it in landscape unless I'm playing a game that requires it.
Books and magazines I like portrait mode.
For everything else I like landscape mode. I feel typing on portrait is harder and makes it feel like a huge iPhone.

Straight....not that there's anything wrong with the alternative.
But seriously, Landscape 95% of the time.
Portrait for most stuff, particularly books and e-mail. . Landscape for video, some websites, and games.
when i hold it, i use portrait and in landscape on my bed/table mode once it got heavy.
U gotta love the screen ratio because even in Landscape mode, the screen is still tall enough to confortably surf the web.

I am a web developer, and they really nailed it with the 1024x768 resolution, for that is the traditional "bottom line" to keep in mind when designing a web site. So I usually use landscape when surfing the net and portrait when reading a book.
Actually, when reading a book I like to switch between landscape and portrait if I find that my attention is growing short.
Cool thread
Landscape. Text is too small in portrait mode. As a matter of fact, my screen is locked on landscape mode 100% of the time.

555 i would say that my text is not too small in Portrait but it could be annoyingly small if you are using Ipad mini.
I have handled a few minis and you are absolutely correct: super small text in portrait mode!
Almost entirely landscape on my iPad, although I do use portrait on my phone for returning messages etc...It's just easier than changing..or I'm just lazy..
