If I'm holding the Kindle with my left hand, my left thumb does it, if I'm holding it in my right hand the right thumb does it. Not to discount your experience but I've simply never had trouble being distracted by how I'm holding the Kindle. And I'd think swiping the screen would be more intuitive since that's how you turn pages in a physical book.
I'm not 100% sure why I prefer tapping. Smaller motion? Used to it because I did it for years on devices with a button but no touch screen? I don't know. All I know is that when I am reading, I never remember to swipe. I always tap.
