There's already a rotation lock option accessible either through the

I think it's better to have this in the app, for a few reasons, in no
particular order:
1. It is useful for some apps to be able to rotate. Obvious
candidate: YouTube, since most videos are landscape.
2. Since it's useful for some apps to rotate, some people are loath
to turn off screen rotation at OS level.
3. It is generally more difficult to read books in a landscape
environment: it's like reading a book while looking through a
letterbox.
4. It's also useful to be able to read while lying on one's side in
bed, and if you do that then the screen rotates and you can't read it.
5. Ubuntu for phones doesn't currently let you lock at OS level
anyway :)
Apparently (5) has been solved, but the others remain. We came up with
a design where the orientation would be locked while reading a book but
unlocked on other screens of the app. This would let you swap
orientations relatively easily while still keeping it locked while
reading.
If this behavior isn't on the roadmap, where should I submit a bug?
Thanks,
Robert
