Thanks for your suggestion. Let's look at it from other angles.

The "Lock Rotation" switch is accessible via the Settings button in the Library View. It is applicable to every view of the app, including Library views, exchange views and reading views. It works like an app-specific rotation lock (vs. system-wide hardware or software rotation lock).

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.
