@BloodRagg: Eh, that wasn't so bad after all

.

You'd have to correct for rotation, as one would expect, yes, but you'll probably also have to correct for Kobo-isms ;p.
(Namely, the mess that's known as the various input protocols across different devices, and the fact that the native touch orientation *never* matches the fb orientation anyway).

Also, while the fb orientation generally makes sense (i.e., 0,0 is the top-left), that's not the case when the Kobo boots, or is in 16bpp Landscape mode via pickel (... on most devices. On newer devices, pickel is in a saner Portrait orientation), as the Kobo is then technically in Landscape, but expects to be read in Portrait, and FBInk will fudge that to accommodate for legacy use-cases that rely on this insanely broken behavior.
