1 - Stored the scripts as unicode in a DB or localized the application specifically for his language using the resource files (localization/globalication/CultureInfo)

2 - This can be achieved using TransitioningContentControl from SL Toolkit, aditinally there are commercial controls available that act as "book pages" too.

3 - storing the scripts as text is probably a more optimal solution then loading images, if you use images in your project, your .xap file's size will increase - thus the load time will be longer. As far as sound goes, media playback is possible in Silverlight, I've only tried with WMV files but I think mp3s are supported as well - if not WMA is probably supported.
