From the data sheet--information about multi byte readsTo start at register 0x28 with multi byte reads enabled I think you want to use register address 0xA8.
B10101000 which is 0x28 with a 1 in the seventh bit.
It was there the whole time... I have been starring at this datasheet for freaking hours - how embarrassing...
But THANK YOU even more! You are a saint (=
