Two reasons swiping is better than tapping.

1. I can swipe anyplace on screen to change the page. If the tap zone to turn the page forward is not in easy reach, a swipe will do. I do sometimes hold my H2O on the left side and I can easily swipe with my thumb and the page turns forward. Tap zones are annoying unless you always hold in read of a tap zone. I do not. Even if I use one hand to hold and the other to swipe, I can swipe almost anyplace on screen and the page turns.

2. When you swipe, you get less fingerprints.
