Two Ways to Enable Portrait Mode on your Eee PC’s Screen

At first and foremost I thought making your Eee PC’s display into portrait sounds ridiculous as I could not imagine turning it sideways to read what’s on the screen. But then put on the second though it actually makes sense especially when you’re reading e-books. It’s like turning your Eee PC or any netbook for that matter into a Amazon Kindle or Sony E-Reader. Even greater whether or not you have the work of the first class Eee PC 700 models, right?

So, how can you make your Eee PC do this? There are currently two ways or tools to help you turn your Eee PC’s screen display in representation mode.

You either use a program called the EeeRotate. Although it has no officer relationship with Asustek, Eee Rotate was said to be created specifically for the Eee PCs. It runs on Windows XP-powered Eee PCs and all you need to bring about is to download the application, install it on your Eee PCs and once successful, you exact need to strike the keys ->

Ctrl + Alt + Right: rotate screen and touchpad by 270 degrees
Ctrl+Alt+Up: back to normal Ctrl + Alt + Up: back to normal

Sounds fun right? I will have to give this a trial later on and see how well it executes on my Eee PC 701. Eee Rotate also works well with the Lenovo IdeaPad S10, and so we’ve heard.

The other solution is by using an application called FBReader. More information about it here.
