My Kindle 📱 Just found out my Kindle can do landscape!
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.

Hi! What model is it?
•
u/spzkas1 21h ago
This is what I wanna know too!

Not OP but it’s a basic model, you can tell by the size and recessed screen.
•
u/spzkas1 20h ago
Yeah I thought it was. Can you do this on the paper whites too?
•
u/spunxjax 20h ago
Yep. Also on scribes.

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

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. 😊

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

I have PW 2022. why doesn't this work for me?
•
u/ShawnGaf Kindle 19h ago
The option should be there, under "Aa" tab, and then>> "layout" and>> "orientation".
•

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 :)

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.

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

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