Amazon supports the use of media queries to allow the a single e-book to contain formatting specific to multiple Kindle devices. For example, "@media amzn-kf8" and "@media amzn-mobi" can be used to target devices based on the Kindle e-book format that they support. Used in conjunction with "display: none" you can have regular text for older devices and rotated text for newer devices.

Personally I think using rotated text in an e-book would be a mistake. Some devices auto-rotate the screen when the user changes its orientation and the so rotated text would always remain rotated, making it difficult to read.

Large tables are difficult to read on small screens. It is generally better to arrange the table content to be more suited to the limitations of e-reading devices.
