I agree that it does not consistently add a page break on chapter start, it does do this with some formats but not others.

It does read DRM-free MOBI (strip DRM with mobidedrm), and it reads OEB ebooks which can easily be made from LIT (DRMed or DRM-free, use "ConvertLIT GUI" to extract the OEB from the LIT container file, then point FBReader to the .opf file).

For DRM-free PDF I like Foxit Reader, which has a rotation option. Or you can try converting them to MOBI (say) using Calibre or Windows MobiPocket Reader. This sometimes works well, but not with all PDFs.
