      I hate it too but there’s a reason books have a portrait resolution, it’s easier to scan when you’re holding it in front of your face

        My guy, books were portrait-oriented because you can get more words on paper that way. They were literally made before phones were even a thing.

        takes a deep breath

        Okay, let’s do an autopsy of your reply:

        1. Books don’t have a resolution. They’re paper.

        2. “Portrait” is an orientation, not a resolution.

        3. Movies aren’t books.
