Of course the new interface includes page up/down buttons you can tap on that do what the page turn buttons on Oasis/Voyage do. It’s much more controlled than swiping, though that is still available.
I don’t know what you mean by ‘wildly variable not a back button’. Navigating search results works very well for me. Are you on the latest firmware version? They made some improvements that weren’t there with the initial UI redesign.
