I also use swipe only, it's a natural instinctive move to flip the page. The way I hold the reader, I just make the slightest swipe with my thumb that's already there, there's really no movement, and no accidental page turns if I'm trying to highlight or bring up a menu that happens if I rely on a tap for page turns.

Reading on an ereader vs a tiny phone screen... my phone battery would never last through the day is one major reason why it's not even feasible. I like to read outdoors a lot, and that makes the phone screen unreadable. And the tiny size of reading on a phone would drive me (and my crappy eyesight) nuts to the point I'd quit reading. There are many more advantages to an ereader, but those 3 alone make reading on a phone impossible.

If you never read outdoors, are in locations with chargers all around during the day, and you have decent eyesight, by all means use your phone if that's what you prefer. But realize that there are others in different situations that you that just about require an ereader to read comfortably, especially for long periods.
