Describe the feature you'd like

A clear description of the feature you'd like implemented in BookStack.
As of now, when a page was read, it is necessary to scroll back to the top and click on the next page on the left-hand navigation. To make this more intuitive and more booklike, IMO there should be a button to get to the next page automatically - without the need to ask yourself where you are again.
The same actually applies for a "previous page" button, but "next page" is more important ;)
A button with a simple arrow would suffice I guess.

Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users

Bookstack wants to be a simple virtual library - or so I have understood. When reading a book, I don't go back to the list of contents after each page/chapter to see where I should go next, but just flip the page. This feature should be somewhat simple to implement (at least from my newbie perspective) and would bring a more or less basic feature for an awesome software with the word "book" in its name :)

Thanks for the request @tillhoff but this is already open under #1381 so I'll close this off as a duplicate.
