Those who have ever used reading applications or downloaded "books" that use some controls know that their working principle is similar.
1. Pagination
2. Scrolling by moving your finger across the screen from left to right (back), from right to left (forward), or by clicking on the tap zones in the left and right parts of the screen. Tap (bottom or top, or just there) brings up the menu.
3. Fonts - Droid Mono, Sans, Serif.
Question, in fact, 2.
Question 1 . What control is used for this? Is it an add-on for WebView? Since readers align the text in width, this probably cannot be done with a TextView.
Question 2 . I saw such a reader in many applications from different people. Is it some kind of open source project?

Under Android, there are their own sources - https://github.com/geometer/FBReaderJ

By the way, here is an interesting application that contains various examples of ui patterns for android. Including I saw the implementation of something similar to what you need:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.groidify.uipatterns
Unfortunately, there is no device at hand - I won’t tell you the section for sure.

it looks like a bookmate, but I haven't used it for a long time, I could be wrong.
