If there was no bezel and only screen, I would want to be able to simply tap the screen (with my thumb) to turn the page.

IMO.
Lots of people have thumbs that don't work as well as they ought. Rocker switches and screen swipes are much more user friendly for us. A tap on the screen would work, but buttons...
