The motion isn't unconformable even for my small hands and is almost always recognized.

That may work for me when I hold it in my left hand (but I think the page forward button looks more promising).

I always have my cover on the reader, with the front flipped to the back. When I'm holding it with my right hand, my pointing finger is in between the two covers, and my hand is about 1/3 from the bottom. I have very limited motion with right thumb (and I don't want to use my left hand). Watching the videos, I always see a very long, deliberate swipe; It doesn't look like a short thumb swipe would work.

I guess I'll just have to try it (and envy the nice page turn buttons on the Kindle and Nook).
