The Sony 950 uses the IR touchscreen that Kobo will use, so I would expect the Kobo to work the same way. A slight swiping up and to the left with the left thumb changes the page to the next page; a slight swiping down and to the right moves to the previous page. My experience with the Sony 950 touchscreen convinces me that I would never go back to the button method of my Sony 505. I don't mean to imply that I never use the < and > page turn buttons on my 950, but I so rarely use them that it may as well be never.
Plus, I think I saw in the video for the new Kobo Touch that a simple tap on the screen turns the page (no swipe necessary). So as long as they put in some configuration options, page turning shouldn't be a problem (unless you require hard buttons).
