Tired of hitting the power button? Turn your Fire UPSIDE DOWN!

[DirkBelig]

Many people are finding their fingers underneath the power button while cradling or typing on their Fires and I was wondering why Amazon didn't put the power button on the top edge. Then I realized, what was keeping me from flipping it? The orientation sensor gets things right-side-up and for some odd reason, it feels better balanced. (I tried to find the tipping point by balancing it on a round pencil and if it's not in the dead center, it's close enough for government work.) While the bezel is 1/4" inch thinner on the real top vs. bottom, it doesn't seem to affect anything. Give it a try and see how it works for you.

With further use, it appears some apps are hard-coded with their orientation, so you'll be flipping it around after all. Doesn't hurt to try though.
