(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.

I have a couple weeks before it needs to be returned; I'll hang on to it and see if anything comes from this. |

If it cannot be patched, in the reading settings, you can set rotate to portrait and it will only rotate in portrait where possible. That may be acceptable.

That's what I did, and it's been fine. If i open it and it's upside down, I just shake it a bit and it flips over like its supposed to. Frankly, if a rotated screen is the worst of your problems, then I'd say that you've got things going pretty good overall. 😊
