Maybe it's a smart design decision in general; maybe I hold the book in a weird way. But the fact is that the device itself says it does one thing and actually does something else, so if they want to keep this decision -- I hope they don't, obviously -- then they need to update the icons because they are wrong.

I pointed this out during the beta. I could understand it not being done in early beta's, but it needed to be done before the release. Also, as the word "consistency" was used as a reason for this change, I felt it showed the lack of consistency.
As to the actual change, I can understand it as a design choice. But, I think that near the edges of the screen are the best places to tap for turning the page. Especially one handed. That makes using that area for anything else questionable.
