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.
If you have taping turned on, you can still swipe. If you have swipe turned on, you cannot tap. This has nothing to do with the eBook. It has to do with the settings on your Kobo. So how move forward or back does not make the same eBook on two different Kobo different. It just means you may prefer to tap and I prefer to swipe.

ADE pages do with the same for every ePub RMSDK can display. You're idea of different is not always correct as in your way to change the page example and how ADE page numbers work (since you think they don;t always work the same for every book).
