Granted, it's a very small annoyance and most of us hardly mind, but I can't see it as something to be desired.

I'm not saying swiping the screen to turng pages is not easy or nice, just that being like a book is not necessarily a good thing.
Ummmm... touchscreens also allow for tapping the edge of the screen to change pages, EXACTLY like pressing a button.
