I like FBReader, but the Windows MobiPocket Reader software is also pretty good. If your only issue is rotating the screen, I think it is possible to rotate at the Windows XP level but I don't know the details.
rotating the screen at XP requires a driver for the screen that has this ability. It is not native for the OS itself. My netbooks (ASUS) has this feature but not all Windows machines do.
