Page rotate and some other needed features

1) I believe i heard somewhere that 2.0 has the "rotate page" feature (like "landscape mode" on PRS500, when the pages are cut in two, and every half is shown as the separate page, which increases the font size); but i can't find that feature anywhere.

2) Is it possible to copy the parts of PDF document on the note/scratchpad? Or, maybe, making unconnected PDF notes for a specified parts of page?
I'll try to explain what i'm trying to get.
I'm a student at the university where lecturers are giving papers (also available in PDF form online) with the problems we should solve; and on a seminar we're individually telling the solutions of these problems to examiners. It would be great not to waste paper on this but instead use DR800 as an excersise book.
The example of PDF with the problems: http://vyshka.math.ru/pspdf/1011/topology-2/Sem5.pdf
Ideally, i want to have a note (or something), some part of which is taken by a conditions of the specific problem and on another part of which i could write a solution. It cannot be done by writing PDF notes for an entire document because there is not enough space on the page; and it cannot be done by writing a note from scratch because then there would be no conditions of the problem on the screen.

penartur,

load up the beta firmware 2.0 rc3 that adds note taking capability. Also add dr800+ full package. That allows tabs down the right side an the version 2.0 keeps notes you make open so you can switch.

Of course i've installed 2.0rc3, or else i wouldn't asked some specific questions about notes
DR800+ allows easy switching between document and notes, am i right?

Last version does.
But note that you need to get DR1000 uds binary in order to use DR800+ *full* package.
Instructions are in the release thread and in the README file.
