I wish Apple Silicon iPads could attach Apple TV (or Mac) as 'external display' and not just for screen mirroring, so you could use the entire screen. Maybe it is possible for a reading app to output 'video' via AirPlay so it can use full screen that way.

It helps to turn on Stage Manager (if iPad supports it) so you can adjust the size of the app window so you don't need 2 columns or very long lines of text.

Yes you can use any number of Bluetooth devices to turn pages at least. Trackpad would work best, of course, but a bit pricey.

Voice Control works great provided you aren't sharing space with other people who might get bothered by 'swipe left' announcements every minute. Kindle and Apple Books support it very well. Other reading apps, not so much (last time I checked).
