Hello,

I am hoping one of the gurus can help with an incredibly annoying feature of the orientation sensor on my Forma (and my previous Forma, replaced under warranty, as well as my wife’s Libra).

Basically, if you hold powered off device with the screen oriented correctly, so the text on the screen with the book cover is readable, and then turn the device on, the home screen and books open upside down. Then one has to wave the reader about to get it to reset the sensor.

It is incredibly annoying, and has happened since day 1 on all 3 devices.

Thanks,

Nike
