So, last year, I added:
[DeveloperSettings]
ForceAllowLandscape=true
to the file .kobo\Kobo\Kobo ereader.conf
It worked great. I liked it so much I just kept the reader in landscape mode.
Today, my ClaraHD spontaneously rebooted while I was clearing items from my wishlist. It rebooted into portrait mode, and the little landscape/portrait icon was missing from the header. I went back to clearing my wishlist, and each time I removed an item (by removing the checkmark next to wishlist for that item), the reader rebooted, first time into landscape mode, the next time into portrait, then landscape, etc. (the header icon never appears, regardless of mode).
I opened the ereader.conf file and confirmed that the two lines are in fact there. I even retyped them to confirm there are no artifacts causing the problem. I resynced too.
So, any idea why this is happening, or a cure?
(If you're wondering why I like landscape so much? I do most of my reading during the 90 minutes I spend on the fitness center's treadmill every other day. There's a nice little perch for a reader or a book. In portrait mode, the weight of the reader is enough to depress the on-off button as it sits on that perch.)
Thanks, Tim
