I may not have been quite clear.
I have a reader (Astak PP).
I can read normal (portrait), but if I zoom past a certain level (PDF), the reader image rotates to get to the next size .
Other devices have accelerometers to tell how it is being held.
The image processor needs to compensate (or not) depending on the current display position.
Example reading Landscape (rotated), a Landscape picture would NOT be rotated. Reading in Portrait orientation, The picture rotates in the User preferred direction (some people like CCW, others like CW) The trick, is for devices with accelerometers to not "repaint" just because the user turned a sideways (reading portrait) displayed Landscape picture.
