The "Lock Rotation" switch has always been there and works like that since v1.0. If the switch were moved from there to somewhere inside a book-reading view, it might be convenient in the cited case, but it would be inconvenient and would look odd for other currently supported use cases. ("Why do I have to open a book first in order to prevent my library view from rotating?", etc.)
Duplicating the switch or adding a new switch seems a bad idea, as it would complicate things unnecessarily.

You make a very valid point. An alternative method to do this would be to have a settings menu/dialog that is available in a standard location throughout MapleRead. It has always struck me as a bit odd that the "gear" menu has only ever been available from the library screen and only contains two options - rotation lock and mapleread account login.
Of course, such concern regarding small details of UI is good news imo because it means that the program overall is pretty amazing. I can understand that changing this is not something you will do but thought it might affect other users and deserved discussion.
Again, thanks for the development of MapleRead - it's great and I appreciate that you spend time in the forum responding to the users suggestions/issues.
