Your idea makes sense but

Wonder if they can change the firmware so that when it is in landscape rotated mode, the buttons on the left side, as well as the buttons on the bottom can be switched so that the now "Down" arrow would advance the page. The tab on the right side works fine in either portrait or landscape mode.

Oh, and another bothersome thing: When the eReader puts page numbers along the right side of the page, it superimposes itself over letters sometimes, and those letters then become washed out!


Dear Solara:

Yes, I agree that when in the horizontal mode the buttons seem wrong. I do not know how easy this would be to change but can look into it. I agree that your point is a good one.

On the other hand, when I am in horizontal mode I use the scroll wheel to turn pages. I think the response is faster (maybe just my impression) than the buttons.

I just have gotten pretty hooked on that scroll wheel for page turns. AND... when in Horizontal Mode the scroll wheel is better because a slide to the right on the scroll wheel is page forward. Maybe it is only me but that seems to make sense to my (albeit limited) mind!

I already have suggested strongly to the factory that thesroll wheel should be utilized for the search function! You and I think alike on that!!

The warmest of welcomes to you on this forum from Astak and me!!
