Sensor for orientation

And for those that lay the book flat on the table to read, I would assume that in the software you can have a default orientation, Portrait or Landscape.
Dear Griffonwing:

This is a good suggestion too. I like the idea if an "automatic mechanical" way for the Reader to know how it is being held.

This one we can look at and get costs.

Thank you!!
