Does whether its a mini or full sized ipad affect this?

heq2011 · Jan 24, 2013, 11:42 AM

Almost always in landscape mode.

99% landscape, I prefer typing in that orientation and almost all my email is exclusively on my iPad.

Yes because the non-retina mini is effectively unusable in potrait mode (text-based sites in safari), whereas the retina iPads make potrait mode usable.

Forgive me, it's difficult to detect sarcasm just from reading text (Unless I was able to read this from an iPad mini in portrait mode). It's not that bad, is it?

Landscape all the time

iPad 2 and iPad 3, I use them in portrait mode 95% of the time.

Landscape. The Smart Cover doesn't lend itself well to portrait use.

When I got my first iPad I thought I would use landscape almost all the time. Now I use portrait on my mini unless I'm watching a video.

iPad Mini
Landscape for everything except book reading and typing anything

Typing in portrait on the mini is great with just your thumbs

A Hebrew · Jan 28, 2013, 09:12 PM

I always use landscape.

Yes its that bad. You can probably make out the words in most cases, but it's really terrible to look at. Landscape mode is fine though.

I use my iPad mini in portrait for reading and web browsing.
