Agreed but Amazon could give an option to disable the the accelerometer for switching between portrait and landscape mode if needed. I still really want it for the following reason. Sometimes I want to enlarge an illustration like a drawing or a photograph that comes with the book. I want to enlarge it to full screen. If the illustration has its height longer than its width, I want to enlarge it at the portrait mode. If it is the other way around, I want to enlarge it at the landscape mode. But switching between modes while having to go to the option menu every single time is annoying. It would be great if it can be done automatically by simply reorienting the device.
