Question for mobile users

Those of you reading on mobile devices, do you prefer the desktop layout (how it is right now), or the supposedly "mobile" layout (the way it was yesterday)?

I ask because whenever I'm on a mobile device these days, I actually find the default mobile theme for this site to be a huge pain in the ass to navigate and not very flexible, whereas the desktop theme lets me zoom in/out as I please or rotate and read horizontally (which is actually quite comfortable on a phone, imo). This desktop theme also preserves the "next page" and "previous page" links that are supposed to appear beneath each post, whereas the "mobile theme" forces you to scroll all the way down below the comments sections (and Disqus' ads, which I can longer deactivate without paying Disqus a monthly fee, btw) in order to find those same links. Which is especially annoying when trying to binge-read.

But the fact of the matter is, I'm not on mobile all that often, so a change like this won't really affect me all that much. That's why I'm wondering what you guys think. According my site analytics, something like 70% or more of you are using mobile devices, so please, share your opinions with me on this subject. Or just yell at me to change it back. It's okay. I can take it.
