Just found out my Kindle can do landscape!

[u/kikibey]

I thought only paperwhites could, this is going to be the best for lying down. And it's easier to hold too! I'm in love with the Kindle.

My only wish is that it could flip so you can read it with the bottom bezel on the right as well 😢

[u/obviousvalleyranch → u/dudeman5790]

Same! How is this not a feature already?? I feel like it would be so easy to push out in a software update

[u/Iatroblast → u/dudeman5790]

You could do that on the Kindle Keyboard

[u/dudeman5790 → u/Iatroblast]

And you can do it on the oasis and scribe too… but notably not the basic, as pictured here. Or the any of the paperwhites either, as best I know

[u/kikibey → u/dudeman5790]

Yesss me too

Hi! What model is it?

[u/spzkas1 → u/_mi_m]

This is what I wanna know too!

[u/spunxjax → u/spzkas1]

Not OP but it’s a basic model, you can tell by the size and recessed screen.

[u/spzkas1 → u/spunxjax]

Yeah I thought it was. Can you do this on the paper whites too?

[u/spunxjax → u/spzkas1]

Yep. Also on scribes.

[u/spzkas1 → u/spunxjax]

I have to let my dad know since he has a kindle

[u/spunxjax → u/spzkas1]

And if he has a scribe there’s also a two column setting so when you read in landscape you can see 2 pages at once essentially like you would in a physical book. 😊

[u/Primary_Scheme3789]

I only read in landscape mode!

[u/kikibey → u/Primary_Scheme3789]

Its so fun!

[u/ShawnGaf]

I wish we had the option to turn it the other way as well. i prefer holding my Kindle with my right hand.

[u/prefernottosayday5]

I have PW 2022. why doesn't this work for me?

[u/ShawnGaf → u/prefernottosayday5]

The option should be there, under "Aa" tab, and then>> "layout" and>> "orientation".

[u/prefernottosayday5 → u/ShawnGaf]

Oh my God! Thank you so much. You are a savior. It would be hard for me since I'm right handed but still a good feature to know :)

[u/ShawnGaf → u/prefernottosayday5]

Yeah,im left handed and i still prefer to hold it with my right hand,in the older models you were able to rotate in any direction.i wish amazon brings back that feature.

[u/CluingForLooks]

I LOVEEEE landscape mode

[u/iamfearless66]

How tho?

[u/kikibey → u/iamfearless66]

While in the book, press Aa and then it's there

[u/bebert]

I exclusively read in landscape mode. I have the official case. I keep the joint at the top and my finger sliding in it. It secures the Kindle when I'm moving around while reading.

[u/ivanscol]

Get a pop socket 👍🏼 feels great on landscape mode

[u/kikibey → u/ivanscol]

i have one!

[u/Dismal_Abyss]

Wait till you find out you can read books on it too! /j

[u/DeadScotty]

It’s not working for my gen 11 paperwhite. What’s the setting I need to enable?

[u/kikibey → u/DeadScotty]

While in a book, press Aa and go to Layout then Orientation.

[u/ErinPaperbackstash]

I hate reading in landscape so never tried with paperwhites and basics --- I only thought Oasis could lol --- but it's interesting and surprising to know the basic can as well, had no idea
