No.
The touch screen is interesting, and it opens the device to some other uses.
BUT for the page turning a couple of buttons located on left, right and bottom edge of the device would work much much better (IMHO) than a swipe.

Come on.
I hold the reader by one hand while reading. How am I supposed to make the swipe with the same hand I use for holding the device? Do not tell me I need to turn pages with two hands like when reading a hardback.
Perhaps if it could be configured to turn the page when you lightly touch the screen near the border ...

For now, my trusty PRS500 does everything I need from a book reader.
I might update my PRS500 to a PRS505 if the price of second-hand 505s falls down when early adopters rush to update to PRS700.
