I had this problem on my Fire HD tablet with a book about the German invasion of Russia. The most important map was sideways, and I had to study it lying on my side with the tablet held vertically, not knowing at the time that the gadget could be locked. I suspect that most owners of e-readers don't know about these options.
I don't know of any eInk device with an orientation sensor, so probably not an issue for dedicated reading devices (although I'm certain that far more people read on tablets than eInk readers).
