I can hold my H2O on the lft or the right and swipe from either side.

Not me. I actually prefer my page turn buttons (back or forward on either side of my bezel) but tapping is my second preference. It just seems more economical -- and it's what I'm used to. And besides, preference or not, Kobo advertises tapping, it should work right. That's my biggest complaint about Kobos and I don't understand why they don't figure this out. I usually hold my reader with both hands or my right hand, so tapping to go to the next page just takes a minimal movement of the thumb -- on the Kindles anyhow. On the Nook Simple Touches I almost always use the page turn buttons. That's why, ergonomically, they're my favorite readers. I like the page turn buttons on the Kindle NT (Original Basic) but the bezel is smaller and not as comfortable to hold.
