The way I'm reading it, a "swipe" isn't even necessary. Just a tap. Of course it could be all marketing hype/lingo, but Amazon is advertising the Paperwhite as a one-handed reading device.

Read with One Hand

Lighter and thinner than a paperback, you can comfortably hold Kindle Paperwhite in either hand for long reading sessions without fatigue or discomfort.

Fast, Easy Page Turns

EasyReach tap zones on Kindle Paperwhite's responsive touchscreen let you tap lightly to turn pages. No need to swipe or use two hands for fast, seamless page turns.
I hope there's at least some truth to the "easy, one-handed" page-turning/reading. Because for the first time since buying my K2, I'm sorely tempted to upgrade ... but the idea of losing my page-turn buttons terrifies me—I'm not too proud to admit it.
