It was tiresome and all too often instead of turning the page, I would accidentally highlight a word.

I was using my Sony more than my Kindle Keyboard because of it's light weight. But the Kindle Touch feels very light and I prefer tapping to turn the page. I thought I would miss having a button for turning the page, but I don't.
Not to derail the conversation... but you might want to Google PRS+. It's an alternative firmware for SONYs and it allows you to remap keys and to select whether you want page turns to be activated by swaps or taps.
