I see no purpose for this and spent about half an hour after updating the firmware looking for a way to turn it off. That's it for negatives so far.
I wonder if the future Kobo Aura ONE will basically be a Forma without the page turn buttons? I'm guessing the Forma's mother board is completely contained in the button side, so putting the microUSB port and power button on the opposite side probably would have been challenging. (Though they could have been somewhere other than directly by the page turn buttons.) Hopefully there will be a hack or firmware upgrade that will allow you to remove the "swipe to open" "feature."
