I'm with John on this. I use reading glasses when I'm reading at home, but I don't carry them around with me, so it's very helpful with small text on the phone, if I can rotate it into landscape mode.

I find some graphics are too small when automatically zoomed to screen width in portrait mode so rotate the screen to landscape. Could you post a mock up of the sort of graphic so we can assess and comment?

For reading websites I always rotate my phone to landscape,as it makes it easier to see, and the content generally fits better, most apps I use in portrait mode. My tablet is always used landscape, don't think I ever use it in portrait, although I did when I used to game on it. It is extremely annoying when a app doesn't auto rotate, or not quickly enough.

My eyesight is a lot worse these days and I have to use glasses when using my phone or tablet, I know some people that just increase the font size though. Sometimes I find some apps or websites where the choice of colours makes it difficult to see.

I must admit I find it very unintuitive to use my phone in landscape mode and invariably always use it in portrait mode for everything except for perhaps viewing pictures taken in landscape.

If the app is designed to work in portrait mode I'm generally happy to use it that way on a phone, so long as I can read the text with my glasses on.
