I did tap to turn pages for a long time because it was simpler, but I also found it to be less reliable. It would jump a few pages when I tapped maybe 1 time out of 10, and I'd have to find my place. Not a big deal but it was a minor irritation.

I found by swiping instead of tapping it almost never does that. So I swipe.

I tend to read a lot of older books and not many of those have the Xray feature enabled but on the few that have, I've liked it a lot.

I noticed a thread here about a script that makes Xray files. I'm in the second half of my current book, which doesn't have Xray, and the book I'm expecting to read next does have it so I haven't looked into that yet, but I probably will.

In the meantime, the easy searching by touching is almost as good. It gives me what I want although sometimes I have to look around a bit for it.
