(I hope adding to old threads isn't frowned upon.)

I have nothing to add, but I just wanted to gripe.

I just got a Forma, and (well, with more memory, at least) it would be my perfect ereader. But it has the autorotate bug. So when I open it or go back to home, everything is usually upside down. I've been able to temporarily get it rightside up, but it takes a while.

I've done a reset, a manual reset, and have it updated to the latest firmware. Still the autorotate bug persists.

So I'm returning it.

I assume that somebody, somewhere, likes autorotate on an ereader. Even without the bug, I would dislike it intensely. It would mean I couldn't read while on my side and I couldn't turn the page upside down. (I know that you can lock it to be only portrait or only landscape, but that still includes upside-down.)
But what I don't understand is why there wasn't an option to turn it off. Either originally or in some update.

The power button isn't that bad, and I can live with 8G of storage.
But the autorotation bug makes it unusable for me.

And quite frankly, I don't see myself buying any ereader that has autorotate which can't be easily and completely turned off.
