Swiping is seamless and really no different than tapping, except that it doesn't share a function with word selection.
I all-too-often end up highlighting a word or some text instead of turning a page on my Sony.

Amazon overcomes that problem: as far as I understand it, you tap the far right corner to activate a 'tool' mode; it is in this mode that one presumably then taps on a word. There is no mention of double-tapping like on the Sony. Until we see a hands-on, I guess we won't know for sure either way.

As Amazon have said that one can tap pretty much anywhere that isn't the far left of the screen to move forward a page, it would seem very short-sighted of them to have not thought about the potential problem you mention.
