Do you actually do that?
I've tried it. In portrait mode, my old 24" 16:10 monitor is already tall enough to wreck my neck and be really uncomfortable to read. I wouldn't even want to try that with my current 27" 16:9 monitor..
Just how close to your monitor do you sit? I have no problems with my 24" 16:10.
The nuisance for me is actually rotating the monitor, particularly if OS support for detecting such and automatically rotating the view is missing. So while I like portrait mode, I tend to just keep it one way or the other, based on my overall monitor configuration.

Yes, of course.
My monitor can roate 90 degrees, but I prefer it landscape, it's more ergonomic not to have to tilt your head vertically, your eyes are horizontal.

It's more like looking at an ordinary A4 page.
Rotate your monitor by 90 degrees for a better reading experience. If this is not possible, buy one that can.
