Last time I looked, on a Paperwhite, disabling the touchscreen still leaves swiping working. So you could emulate this on a Kobo by setting Page forward and back by: to swiping only under More => Settings => Reading settings.
To turn the touchscreen back on with a Kindle, you need to use the power button twice.
See attached image for a PW4 (5.16.10.0.1)
