Have you ever dozed off while reading a Paperwhite? What happens is your hand drifts across the touchscreen, doing all sorts of unknown things. Then you wake up and have to click off the message that says you need to have wifi on to look up this word, remove some highlights, and find your page again.
This is much less of a problem with page turn buttons. Since the Oasis does have a touchscreen it is possible, but you don't accidentally depress the page turn buttons (which isn't hard to do but usually requires intent), and your hand is usually positioned on the buttons so going across the touchscreen is less likely (and you can lock touchscreen out on the Oasis if you want).
Now it may be that it's not a great idea to read in bed until you fall asleep but that would be a huge lifestyle change for me at this point.
