How would it know you're not lying on your left side...?! Can anyone with a Forma comment on this?
I gave this a try and it seems to work okay, if I understand correctly what you are expecting. Laying on my right side with the Forma in my right hand it displays correctly, I flipped it over so that I was holding it in my left hand (buttons under my left thumb now) still laying on my right side and the screen rotated correctly (this is with it set to rotation locked on portrait), tried it on my left side and it took it a bit longer to flip the screen after swapping from left to right hand but it still worked, the screen was in the correct orientation for reading.
If you leave the setting on Auto-Rotate it switches to landscape when you lay on your side, so you need to lock it to portrait.
