Depending on the reading app (Apple Books or Kindle would work), you should be able to use a simple (and inexpensive) ‘presentation’ remote to turn pages. It just needs to have right/left key function. I have such a thing somewhere but haven’t tried it out with this use case.
In the meantime, I’m waiting to see what the next iPad Pros offer (but not as eBook device).
I have somehow found myself using Kindle much more again since the Series grouping update (which Kindle for iOS does not yet have). It’s much lighter of course, but one gives up a lot in terms of contrast, performance and versatility. But it is likely just a phase I’m going through and I’ll be back to using the mini for most of my reading before long.

I've been experimenting with my Kobo recently. Its a nice change of pace, but after a week or so, I found myself returning to my iPad. The combination of CC and Marvin makes it very easy to manage what to read next. CC had a problem with Calibre's content service for a while, but now it's working again. Nothing changed on CC, so it must have been a fix that Calibre put in. I need to remember to send Govid another $20.
