Barryem said, "The Paperwhite 4 also has a flush bezel but for some reason I'm not always turning pages if I hold it wrong. Maybe it's the size or something about the shape."
e got my Paperwhite 4 on January 13th when my sister brought it to me. The more I used it the worse my experience was with turning pages. Then I turned on the setting to eliminate tap responses and it worked. I turn the PW4 off with the button and back on and the tapping returned and the page turning problem was gone.
But, it came back. I think I've figured it out.
I've been using a Paperwhite for 6.5 years. I had a brief time using the Voyage, gave it away, and returned to the Paperwhite. I bought an Oasis 2 and promptly returned it and returned to the Paperwhite.
So, for 6.5 years and I don't know how many hundreds of books I've been reaching far enough to the left with my right thumb to clear the bezel and tap the screen. Now, there is no raised bezel.
I discovered that as I read if I don't pay attention my thumb doesn't reach the actual screen.
I wasn't copying Barryem but when the Paperwhite 4 came on the market with Amazon.mx I got a second one. Since Kindle hasn't given us USB-C with rapid charge I alternate with two readers. As I set up the new PW4 I paid close attention and while typing passwords and device names and what-have-you not a single tap failed.
Just my experience but I'm happy and will pay attention until the new "reach" becomes automatic.
Oh, and I like buttons on my Kindle almost as much as I like buttons on my fly.
