For me it's comfort. I can rest a thumb on the next page button and advance with a press.
For touch screen, I have to either swipe, or touch in a designated area. That means that most of the time my thumb has to rest somewhere else and I have to slightly shift my grip every time I want to turn the page. This makes it more likely that I will drop my reader.
Also, I hold my reader in my left hand, and on Kindle, touching the area immediately adjacent to the left bezel goes back one page instead of forward one page. So I have to kind of stretch some hard to determine distance in order to advance the page.
On my other devices I need to swipe to turn the page and this is very hard to do one handed. Maybe my hands are too small compared to the average.
I really miss the page advance buttons on my old Sony PRS-505. So many options for buttons, especially if you hacked it to also use the direction pad for page advance.
