I noticed earlier in this thread that brightness adjust by swiping is now supported. I've never done this by mistake in Marvin so I wouldn't care if this was left functional.
All the e-book readers I've used make seamless reading a problem except an older, non-touch, Kindle. On every other reader app or device, I find myself frequently distracted by these "features".

Interesting! Apparently, you prefer to read on a touch-screen device with minimal tap gestures, but swipe gestures are ok.
If this is true, then you should definitely give BookMaster a try.
On iOS there are many types of touch gestures. The 3 common types in question here are tap (short press), touch-and-hold (long press) and swipe.
In BookMaster, you need a tap for menu access. And you're ok.
You don't need a tap for page turn. You can turn it off in Gesture Control (see the attached figure).
To lookup or highlight a word, etc., you need to long-press on it and then select a command out of the pop-up context menu or tap somewhere else to cancel it. Thus it is quite difficult to highlight a word accidentally in BookMaster. This same statement can not be said for iBooks, as you have pointed out.
In fact, even the vertical swipe for brightness control can be turned off.
Is there anything you've asked for regarding gestures that I have not listed yet?
