That is one place that a paper book is easier. The last time I needed to do this, I read on the Glo and used the Touch for the character list

As to how it can'should be done. On a Sony reader you just pressed a button ( IIRC) ; in the Kobo tablet app you just swipe down. Not sure how Kindle do it nowadays but I bet its simpler than what Kobo do !

Gestures are probably the way to do it. A vertical swipes aren't used for anything when reading, so yes, it could be used.

& how are supposed to turn a page within a densely packed TOC, without activating a link, ?

For all the lists, I usually drag my finger along the bottom edge of the screen.
