Kindle Fire

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

Mr Frosty has a Kindle Fire and reads it on the vertical (as if it was a book). But he noticed in a shop it can used on the horizontal but does not know how to change his Kindle. So can any kind Grape hold Mr Frosty's hand and tell him how to use his Kindle on the horizntal. It's not like an iPad where changes are made by tlting (have already tried).

Don't know about on the fire but on the keyboard there is a setting to change the orientation - there are pretty good how tos on Amazon.

My 3 year old grandson can do it taught by his brothers - I'll ask them to show me

Does it not just change orientation according to how you hold it like Apple products do? Genuine question as I have never held one.

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

VVG - nope does not orientate according to angle it is being held, which is a pity. Shenaval - can we borrow your grandson for a wee while. Alison and Kernowyon, thanks for the link and advice.

My two teenage boys have the fire hd and one of them had this. Somewhere in the settings(!!) there is a unlock/lock screen setting. I'm on my phone so can't google for it...

Mr Frosty now has his Kindle on the horizontal - thank you all
