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.

I don't fall asleep while reading. I put my book or reader down when I get sleepy. Back when I read paper books and I didn't want to stop reading but was getting tired. I used to lay the book on my chest and close my eyes for a half hour or so... 😂....Sadly for those who want buttons the choices are getting slimmer. Kobo and nook probably won't do them eventually as well.
