Disclaimer: I might be wrong about the Amazon stuff here. Get advice from folks that know them better than me.
If you bought your books through amazon, they will remain in your account, and you will be able to download them to your new Kindle, if you decide to get one.
If your books are sideloaded, then you can just drag them to a folder on your computer.
If you wish to back up your amazon books, you will have to install calibre and a de-drm plugin. It takes an element of technical know-how.
If you want to put amazon books on a non-amazon e-reader, you'll have to follow a similar process.
Regarding the page turn control, yeah, that's annoying. Seriously, you can't turn pages by tapping either side? Ick! Hopefully someone on here can provide you with a solution. I am able to set my ereader up to do that, but I use an Onyx reader.
I A Kobo can do it with Koreader, but it takes a little technical know-how. It depends on your level of understanding. I don't know exactly how ambidextrous Kobo controls are out of the box, but for sure they are better than what you describe with your Kindle.
Also, it depends on your budget. The new bigger Kobos and the Oasis are ambidextrous and have buttons.
