Usage modes of convertible devices

One usage mode I've mentioned here in the past is rotating a touch screen laptop/convertible 90 degrees so that one can hold it as a book: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43400887 >More than anything, the interface which I want to normalize is holding a laptop as a book and using the touchscreen

(I use a Levenger Lapdesk to support it when using it thus).


Am I the only person who does this? Who finds it a useful mode?
