Yup, makes sense. Having a good reading experience is more important for
now than
being able to annotate, so I'm fine with postponing the rest.

+1, absolutely makes sense to me. 
I actually rotated the view in Okular sometimes, but since Okular has too
much
"chrome", I found the pages mostly too narrow to read.
So we'll need to give the actual document as much horizontal space as
possible.
