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

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

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?

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.

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.
