I have a few ebooks in PDF (and other) formats.
Is there a simple to use free app without ads that will just read the book

Not all PDF pages are rendered in natural order (i.e. top down, left to
right order for Western script) some can be effectively random
characters sprinkled onto the page in the required places, I doubt a
reader would handle them well ...

 These are all epub books in a variety of epub formats, not just (text) PDF.
Most are in mobi but some are azw/azw3 (only a few are in (text) PDF).
 They are designed for readers.
 I'm hoping to find a good voice output reader that speaks the entire book
(without having to select every single paragraph, which is ridiculous) to
my wired headphones for the trip on the plane.

I guess that will work better on non PDF epub formats. But I have not tried. My epubs have DRM protection, so they do not work everywhere, and Kobo wants people to buy the audio version instead.
