I love the backlit feature for reading in bed, love it ... no reading light necessary to disturb Fireboy's sleep.
If your iPad doesn't automatically change from landscape to portrait just by holding it in either position, then go to "Settings" and then click on "Video" then turn "ON" "Widescreen."

When I first got the iPad, it would flip-flop automatically to widescreen or portrait, but recently it hasn't been doing that as it stays in widescreen (landscape language in computers). We're now up North at our inlaw digs and will ask my great-grandson Kyle (15 y/o) to check this out. Am still not too savvy on the iPad, but do enjoy what simple things I do on it, and of course the e-reader is great. Kyle has been doing the add-on's and fixin's for us. Amazing how easy this comes to the kids, and this hi-tech stuff is beyond me, although I do manage, with much patience and fortitude.
