It will also be funny to see what happens when the reader turns the gadget sideways, and it flips, tee hee.

I had this problem on my Fire HD tablet with a book about the German invasion of Russia. The most important map was sideways, and I had to study it lying on my side with the tablet held vertically, not knowing at the time that the gadget could be locked. I suspect that most owners of e-readers don't know about these options.
