If you swipe too quickly it reader doesn't always catch it.
Another issue with page change swipes happens if your swiping motion is irregular or bounces a little, which can cause a word to be highlighted.
Technically the touch screen needs ZERO pressure since it's optical, but although you don't need any pressure, you do need to maintain enough contact to keep the touch screen from registering your single swipe as multiple inputs to keep this from happening.
A smooth, not too rapid, diagonal swipe seems to work best for most people.
Don't worry, practice does indeed improve things, so after you use your reader for a little while, these kinds of glitches become pretty rare.
