(I realize there are no buttons on the new Paperwhite, so my question is probably a 'no', unless there is the ability for the firmware developers to assign an area as Active to enable/disable this kind of feature.)

I just dug out my Paperwhite 4. Inside a book, touch the three dots on the upper right and Disable Touchscreen is in the drop down menu. My Paperwhite is on version 5.13.6.
