Basically, don't bump the screen. :) It sounds simple, but keep in mind that touches can register through cloth, so if your phone is in your pocket with the screen in, it might touch your leg and register a touch. Or, if it is facing out, a bris of your hand over that pocket could be enough.
Personally, I'd consider sending something that huge to Instapaper and reading either from the Instapaper app or an app like Voice Dream Reader. Basically, you send your email to a special address you are given when you sign up, and anything you forward there is converted into the Instapaper format (which is, ideally, just the text and important bits of the message or article). You can then read that generated article however you wish. Note that using VDR to read it requires a subscription to Instapaper, a monthly fee you can pay for within the Instapaper app itself, using iTunes credit. The only other thing I can think of is to try to remember a bit of text from where you left off in the email. Then, open the message and use a two-finger triple tarp to bring up the Item Chooser. Activate the search field, type the text you remember, and hope you remembered/typed it right. Go to the matching item and, in theory, you will be back where you left off.
