Flip it Upside Down

bjones6416 · 08-09-2010, 01:16 PM

I had an Aha! moment last night. I wanted to read on my K2 while charging, and the fact that the cord plugs in to the bottom of the reader was cramping my style. I tend to prop it on my lap, and that just puts too much strain on the cord since it goes straight in the bottom.

Then I remembered that the display on the K2 can be flipped 180 degrees, so I did that. I was able to read in my usual comfortable position while keeping it plugged in, and it also repositioned the Prev Page button to the right side of the reader, where I prefer it. Bonus!

LOL. It is a great feature. I read my DXG upside down about 75% of the time

As a lefty I do that quite often.

One of the best features of the new Kindle is the prev. page buttons on both sides!
