I've found that the sensitivity of the accelerometer is nearly perfect. I've had a couple of spurious flips when putting it down on tables, but the rest of the time the amount of hysteresis is right, and it doesn't flip over unless I *mean* to invert it, and never misses a flip.
Agreed. I read on my side in bed, and I definitely wouldn't want it auto-flipping into landscape orientation. I have "orientation lock" turned on on my iPad for that precise reason.
