I have Kobo Touch from first month they were available enduring many firmware updates that often affect page turns for better or worse. When you touch or tap left or right side to turn page, your finger is blocking Infrared beam of invisible light. A firm or hard press does not affect page turns but might damage screen. Size does not matter as I have touched screen with objects from 3mm to 24mm diameter getting reliable page turns. Hard or soft objects will work if they are opaque to IR light and don't damage screen. Duration of touch does matter. Some firmware versions needed a slower touch and other versions worked with really quick touch to slow touch. Menu selections are slow to register. Give it a little time to respond as multiple fast touches don't seem to work right. I most often just use a finger to turn pages. I have used pencil erasers, small brushes and foam earplugs for more precise touches for menu selections.
Swipes also work for turning pages. I use swipes most often when turning page with the only hand holding the reader. Swipes and getting reliable pages turns requires learning what works for you with current firmware. Just a short learning curve.
