Looks great; very legible, graphs look very good. Everything's rightside up. I can't pretend to have read it (it's *long*), but I flipped back and forth around the area after page 169 where it's in landscape mode, and flipped through the parts before and after where it's in portrait mode, and I tried clicking on stuff before the thumbnails came up, and I saw no problems at all. But then, I don't use Acrobat Reader, which I detest, due to its extremely unfriendly behavior (puts up active ads for upgrading to Acrobat, nags about new versions, doesn't shut down properly, and so on and so forth). I'm using Okular, which is dumber than Acroread but far more civilized.
