I currently own a Tolino Shine 3 (Clara HD-like) and it still had page rotation. It also has a nice, warm screen and it seems to do okay with PDF documents. It also saves your rotation choice on a book by book basis. So, if you're reading an ePub and a PDF, it will remember your settings for each. I can't believe the rotate feature has been removed in the Shine 5, but I see nothing about rotation in the 5's manual.

At any rate, you might want to look for a Shine 3 either used or new, old stock. I don't think there was a Shine 4, so the 3 would be one generation back.
