A:Answer Honestly, I personally wouldn't use my Ally X as an ereader over a dedicated ereader or tablet. Mainly due to dedicated software. Remember this runs windows so, whatever ebooks/comics/etc you want to read, you need a software to manage that, and none of the ones I've come across on windows have been amazing. But your mileage may vary. There is a gyroscope, and you can enable screen rotation and use it to read things in portrait mode, I think it would be a bit awkward though.
