That's exactly why there needs to be an option to lock rotation for an e-reader.
My other question remains unanswered: does Ubuntu Touch support rotation yet? I'd like to know because I'm maintaining the device-specific part for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, and right now it's hard-coded to be locked into landscape mode, because the early port was locked in portrait mode. I'd prefer not having to hard-code the orientation if I don't have to. On May 8, 2013 9:52 AM, "Rasmus Eneman" <[email protected]> wrote: > When you lie down it needs to be locked.
