As others have pointed out, the swipe motion is on pretty much every touchscreen.

Having said that, the swipe, is not a very good motion to use to turn pages. My goal is to have the minimal motion to turn pages, not the most booklike one. The swipe is too big a motion to do for every page forward. I love it for page backs because I rarely do them.

I've seen this from a couple of people, but not from anyone who has actually tried out the Voyage. We actually don't know if this is going to be an issue or not. Given that there are settings for harder or softer press, I suspect it won't be an issue for most people and the rest will be able to remove it be changing the settings to require more force.
