I eat with the other. Presto, my problem was solved. I remember Mom buying those funking see-through holders so you could put your book in it and eat and read. The thing would hold the pages open. The problem was that we all read fast in our family and it took more time to take the book out, turn the pages, put it back in--then it did to read the two pages!
I don't care for swiping much and it would be a consideration for my next e-reader. IF There are any with buttons left...

Buttons are a fad. Zippers are where it's at.
But seriously, buttons are going the way of the Dodo. You could use a stylus to change the page and not have to worry about dirty hands.
I've read at the table when I was young and I managed it. I don't recall complaining about turning pages.
