So if I change hands, the whole arrangement is very awkward. Despite Kobo's customization options, I am unable to alter this over-limited functionality.
In comparison, the Nook has buttons on both sides. Plus because it is open Android, I can add any number of third-party reading apps with highly advanced navigation options.
The Kobo is really primitive and undeveloped in this regard. There is no excuse for it. Even open-source and small-time reading apps offer better navigation options than Kobo. Kobo should fix this.

As John said, in the Kobo settings there are several options for different touch zones being used to change the page.
Mine is set so the entire bottom of the screen is page forward, the entire top is page back and the center brings up options. So you can page forward with either hand.
It's fairly close to how I had my Nook set (bottom button on either side was page forward, top button was page back).
