Swipe for page turning
On the Kobo Touch (1.9.17), I've never changed the default regions, and can turn pages either left- or right-handed. (It doesn't seem to be documented -- I did it instinctively by accident when I first got my KT, and have been using it ever since).
With my left hand, I hold my hand flat, palm towards me, Kobo on my four fingers, with thumb around the left edge and over the screen. A swipe from center to left edge goes forward a page. A swipe from left edge to center goes back a page.
With my right hand, reverse the grip, and swipe with my thumb - right edge to centre to go forward, centre to right edge to go back.
So with default settings (tap in middle, spanner, Advanced Settings, Page Turning, first choice), a swipe right-to-left with either hand goes forward and left-to-right goes back. If you think about it, that's how you would turn a paper page, too.
