You say so use either of the other three options that lets you swipe anywhere on the right (or left deepening on option chosen) to page forward. The issue with this is I also am known to change hands for reading; this of course entails re-configuring the settings to allow for a natural, one handed solution.

On the other hand, IF I could select top to page forwards and bottom to page backwards, I could hold the device one handed in either left OR right hand and know that my thumb just had to touch the top to move forwards.
@JSWolf "You can swipe in anyplace on the screen left for forward and right for back. Works very well. No need to define where to swipe."

Yes, I know I can swipe left or right anywhere, I some times hold the reader in such way swiping is too much effort I am just used to Moon+ Reader, where you can define L-shape zones etc. I do not get the new page control option offered by Kobo (although I use it) - who needs a "menu zone" across the middle of the whole screen? I would prefer to have a stipe of "back" on top and U shape of "forward" on the bottom.


@PeterT
I quess you misunderstand touching for swiping here.
