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.


Thank you! Yes that is exactly what I meant. How odd/clever/unexpected that it would work... since lying on your left side holding in your left hand (buttons nearest the floor, to the left of the bottom of the screen) would give a different "bottom of screen"-side than lying on your right side holding in your right hand (buttons nearest the floor again, but to the right of the bottom of the screen)...

Kudos to Kobo for figuring out how to solve that accelerometer puzzle.
