I can't reproduce it either. I've tried both firm and very light swipes, short and longer. The only way I can get it to skip ahead with a swipe is by changing the direction to vertical. Maybe that particular Kindle is defective?

However, I will add that I find swiping to be a completely inefficient way of advancing pages (I don't use it when reading on the iPad either). I'm really glad they included a "tap" function for those of us who prefer that method.
