It also very thoughtfully accounts for the fact that when you're swiping left to right on the left side, your thumb is angled below and swipes sort of upwards, so a straight up t on the left will do next page, and down will do next page on the right side (i know, that sounds confusing.. it definitely takes getting used to), likely due to thumb angles, it makes sense in practice.

TLDR: I mainly want to be able to turn next page from the left side as well as the right side in some manner.. is that possible without making it impossible to turn previous page?
The tap zones can't be reconfigured. However, the page forward zone is very large and the page back one is small.
I can easily page forward with my left hand while holding the Kindle in my left hand. The page back is also on the left and is within easy reach.
The only one-handed problem i can see would be either paging back with your right hand or bringing up the menu at the top unless you hold the Kindle way up high. Swiping left/right also works for page forward and back.
