When I'm reading on a non-button device I don't swipe, I just tap...if I had to swipe all of the time, I can see where it may get annoying after a while.
My e-ink readers are for relaxing and reading fiction or light non-fiction, such as biographies or memoirs. If I have to read a "dense" technical book I use either a computer or a tablet, especially since most books like that are best in PDF format (tables, diagrams and complex math formulas don't translate well to epub or any of the Kindle formats).

I was hoping to attract post Kindle users to see their methods, this isn't meant to be an attack of the Kindle or its users. I don't think most users here read more technical books, so my criticism isnt an issue.

Followed by:
2. Not being able to define the direction of the touch targets. I like everything to be "go forward". FBReader is extra nice in that there are three touch zones per side so I can have 5 of 6 targets for forward and 1 (lower left is my preference) for going back.
3. Handling series. I want to view my books by series.
4. OPDS and other nice and easy book loading options beyond the Apple or Kindle book stores
5. Color schemes beyond 3 or 4 choices. I like very low contrast night themes of medium greenish grey over darker greenish black.
6. Support of iOS and Android. Kindle has this but iBooks does not

1. Moonreader can do both.
2. Moonreader can assign buttons or toggles.
3. You can tag then and organize it, I didn't use this though.
4. Not sure what it is.
5. Custom colors. I chose my theme myself including font, color, Line spacing, margins, page animations, and background. You can choose rgb and alpha (transparency)
6. Android only I think.
