It's a little tricky to adjust the sensitivity.
Anyway, it's a bit easier than having to go up to the Kindle top settings and change the lock/unlock.
Edit: Sorry, this is a widget for Go Launcher EX so not usable on the stock KF.
I worry that this might decrease battery life by polling the accelerometers more than they should be polled.

I wonder if a better thing wouldn't be an app that lets you lock and unlock rotation via a statusbar notification.
