I hope there is a way to disable auto-rotation for reading in bed. That is a big pet peeve with my iphone.


There seems to be. From the manual at http://s3.amazonaws.com/kindle/KindleDX_Users_Guide.pdf

The screen changes automatically when you rotate your Kindle from portrait to landscape or vice versa. Or, you can lock your screen to a particular orientation to fit your reading position.

However, since this is a much bigger device, I am not sure if reading in bed is going to work the same way it does for the iPhone.


Yep: http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/kindle/nell/photo...

Every orientation you could want, even left-handed!


It doesn't auto-rotate if you tilt it so the home button's at the top.


All of the ebook readers I've liked for the iPhone let you disable auto-rotation - Stanza, BookShelf, the Kindle app...
