ETA: Ditto for my iPhone 13 Pro Max but with a twist. When the affordance line won’t disappear but I switch from portrait to landscape or vice versa then it does. I guess switching orientation resets it on the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Switching orientation on the iPad Air 2020 has no effect though.

Turns out that if you have Continuous Scrolling on (which typically I do on iPhone), then it disappears as I would expect. I also have Orientation Lock Layout setting on, so if I turn CS off I would not have the orientation-change workaround available.
On iPad, there’s no in-app Orientation Lock Layout setting, and unlike iPhone, orientation-change does not hide the affordance once it decides to stick.
It is particularly noticeable for me because I use white-text-on-black and the affordance bar is thick and is the brightest thing on the screen, so it is distracting. Probably I’ll just start using CS more.
I did submit ‘feedback’ to Amazon (for the second time now).
Apple Books handles it perfectly, as does Google Play Books, Kobo Books, and even Nook.
