1.4 Screen Rotation
The Kindle screen image can be rotated so you can see the entire width of a web page. 
The buttons work the same in either rotation, but the 5-way controller movements are 
switched to match the rotation.  
To lock your screen into portrait or landscape mode, follow these steps: 
1.   Press the Text key  located on the bottom row of the keyboard. 
Screen Rotation is displayed at the bottom of the menu. 
2.   Move the 5-way to select one of the four options to lock the display in a set 
orientation: portrait , landscape with the keyboard on the left, portrait with the 
keyboard at the top, and landscape with the keyboard on the right. 
3.  Press the 5-way to confirm your choice. 
Note — You can view Kindle Store pages only in portrait mode.
