I hate the current craze of accelerometers. I certainly want to be able to flip the page (at least 180 degrees in this case since the controls seem to be only on one side on this device), but I even more certainly don't want it to automatically do anything no matter which way I hold it. I want to be able to lay in bed on my side and read it without it flipping wrong way up, and while I do that I want to be able to switch hands and manually rotate the orientation so that it's the correct way.
I don't mind the actual accelerometer, I just don't want it doing anything unless I tell it to do something. I wouldn't mind having an "orientation" button that, when pressed, orients the display so that "up" is the direction of the acceleration. However, since there are only 4 directions the button might as well make it rotate 90 degrees at each button press and thus getting rid of the accelerometer completely (not that such sensors are big, resource hungry or expensive, but still).
