PRS-300 Quick Orientation changing, who would have thunk it!!!

tnronin · 02-08-2010, 09:40 PM

I was watching a youtube review about the PRS-300. I didn't know you could change the orientation quickly by pushing and holding the zoom! Woot!!!

I wonder if the 500 series has the same. My 300 has been russified FWIW. Don't know if THAT matters.

Certainly applies to 505... it's even in the manual ;-)

Thunk it???

Manual, what manual. LOL

Don't start Dragonbone. It was a colloquialism, and meant as a joke. Jeez.

The guy at the Sony Store near me showed me that. I didn't know it could do it until he showed me during a demo of the thing before I got it. Yep, very cool to be able to do it quickly.

Great tip. Thanks!

The PRS600 does not have this function.
Why is something useful not continued with the newer model.

seems like another team designed the PRS 600. You can't even go [back-one] with the Home button, like you can on the PRS 505. They REALLY want you to "experience" the touch screen, whether you want to or not
