Good.
Now the
argumentum ad absurdum. Consider this hypothetical situation: some books advance when you tap the right third of the screen and some books advance when you slide across the screen. The books that advance with a tap will not advance with a slide and the books that advance with a slide will not advance with a tap. Because "they are different".
Both actions are valid ways of advancing through a book. The problem -- the absurdity -- is in the inconsistency. A book being different should not change how the UI operates. A tap should work the same for every book. A slide should work the same for every book.
Faux pages should work the same for every book.
They don't. They can't.
