Mobile (Android) orientations

[Guglielmo Braguglia]

Ah .. I forget ...
... this is for the *Kindle Fire HD 7" NO WiFi* ... so, you have to 
change the *KFTT* (in the .txt file) following this table :

- KFOT = Kindle Fire
- KFTT = Kindle Fire HD 7"
- WFJWI = Kindle Fire HD 8.9" Wi-Fi
- WFJWA = Kindle Fire HD 8.9" WAN
