using Safari or Firefox

simple trick to help you read the latest issue of popular magazines like PC Magazine, MIT Technology Review, Popular Mechanics, MacWorld, Lonely Planet, Reader’s Digest, etc without paying any subscription charges.

You will also get to read adult magazines like Playboy and Penthouse. Best of all, these digital magazines are exact replicas of print

Consumer reports? In any event, it's cool!

Ok, this is great, but it says "best viewed in landscape mode" when I get to the zinio site. How does one set Safari and/or Firefox to "landscape mode?" Sorry if I'm being dense, but I'm no pro at this stuff.
