That way, I can still track (actually, I wouldn't call this "tracking", because this method works precisely because I'm forcing my eyes to focus on the point my finger is at; my focus is keeping track of my finger, not the other way around. But this is by the way.), while also having front-light. Best of both worlds. Does anyone know of such a device?

I'm very satisfied with my Kindle DX, but because of the large screen, it's also hard to find an attachable lamp that covers the whole screen.
If you are willing to root your device you can get a nook glowlight and install coolreader on it. With coolreader you can disable touch completely or configure it to turn page only when you are touching a particular part of the screen or on a double tap or long press.
If you have an android phone you could try coolreader app on it
