In other words, my right and center is page forward in normal orientation when i read with my right hand. When I use an item "Invert screen orientation" from NickelMenu, when I flip the book in cover to my left hand, I want the left side of the screen and the center to be "forward" now. If this is currently impossible by a simple way in NickelMenu config, then you should not specially make patches for this - this is just my "wishlist", others probably do not need it. It's all about reading in the cover and use one hand for turn page - right or left hand without manually setup tap zones.
I guess I could write an action to replace the code for prev/next dynamically. It would be simple, but I won't include it as an official feature since it'll be firmware-specific and a bit out of scope.

But a patch with the possibility of customizable tap zones in nickel reader would be very cool
It'd definitely be quite cool, and it would be a fun challenge to devise a good technique for live-patching it. I think I remember @sherman asking about this a while back too. I might try it at some point.
