I think it's an interface thing- without page turn buttons, it's impossible to differentiate between a page turn and scrolling (since both involve a swipe.) If you are at the edge of a page, then perhaps the Kindle could then interpret a swipe as a page turn. OTOH, if the page is zoomed out, a swipe can only be interpreted as a page turn since scrolling is impossible.

I just want landscape with the nice fit to page width behavior of the last Kindle. That worked really well- about as well as possible for a 6" screen.
