Kindle app is upside down!

[Jim Williams]

All of a sudden the Kindle app opens upside down and I can't flip it over. Any ideas? None of the other apps do this. Odd...

Welcome to Android Central! So is the entire screen upside down, or just the book text? The attached photo looks completely normal, so I assume you mean that the whole screen turns upside down, right?

Have you tried going to Settings>Apps, selecting Kindle, and Clearing Cache/Data, then Force Stop? Or uninstalling it completely, then reinstalling?

This thread suggests tapping the lower right of the screen to see if there's a screen orientation lock active. If so, unlock the screen orientation. Amazon.com: Customer Discussions: Books appear upside down on Kindle app on android phone

Yeah. Thanks. I had it locked and didn't know it!

Thanks, that was it, I locked it. Now it is unlocked again and the book is the right way.

This solved the problem for me, too.

I tried a few things. After reading it upside down for a few hours I noticed a little lock in the bottom right hand corner. I tapped it and it unlocked and righted itself. I must have inadvertently tapped it to lock by mistake. I hope this is your problem.
