If that works for you, then you're set.
But not everyone does things the same way, which is why such commands need to be a little flexible. In many aspects, the UI is amenable to user habits, as it should be. But in others, it needs some rejigging.
I think the light swiper is an example of a bad design, as it stands. I don't see how the majority of people would use it, or use it often enough to be so prominent, and yet it's there for everyone, and has enough of an impact that you're talking about abandoning half the screen for page swipes. Which feature should take screen dominance, do you think, in an e.reader: turning pages, or changing the light level?
