It is literally physically impossible otherwise. The issue here is most likely the way you grip the bezel. You've probably got your fingers overflowing onto the screen.

On the other hand, having the device not turn page when you intend it to is a genuine concern. I do think it's to do with the engine, not the IR panel. I've heard of people using ePub on Kobos who have this issue, and it generally isn't one when reading kePub.
With a capacitive touchscreen it would be fixed by me keeping the fingers off of the screen. Unfortunately, this is an IR touchscreen. I lie on my side and prop it up against a pillow. Unfortunately, it seems like every time I shift, a piece of the blanket, or a piece of the pillow, or maybe just a breeze causes the page to turn. When I use a device with a capacitive touchscreen, the page only turns when I touch it with my finger.
