Tapping on most of the screen area will page forward, the most common action done when reading; tapping in a narrow area near the left edge of the device turns to the previous page; and tapping on the top part of the screen brings up the toolbars for further options. This is another way that Kindle helps readers get lost in the author's world.

Not quite sure how Amazon invented this since it is exactly how the Kobo Touch (the zones are a bit different but I tap on the right side I get the next page, the left side I get the previous page and a middle part I get the toolbar) works- not sure about the Nook but I would be surprised if it was much different. It is actually very easy and comfortable to use when you get used to it.
