Man, what's your problem already! ;=} You're using a Newton!!! Go
"Extras/* Rotate", select "Controls left" (or "Controls right",
whatever it shows), and the controls zap to the other side! The sheer
joy of it!
Honestly, without this little but precious piece if fun, reading ebooks
can be quite a bother. Using this is even more a revelation than
discovering that the * button (overview button) displays a book's table
of contents.

page-turning function. \
Chime, chime -- Librarian, mentioned in the current "sleep problem"
thread. Never tried it, though.
>There was also an app that supposedly could allow sound to trigger the
page-turning \

Check Daniel Padilla's website, I think it was by him.
Okay, gotta hop now -- DJV.
