Finger in motion BEFORE you touch the screen.
Finger still in motion when you lift it from the screen.
A light flick from RIGHT to LEFT (the opposite of what some would think)
(I flick my right thumb at a 45degree angle downward like the character / ) starting with my thumb resting lightly on the white bezel at the right, and ending on the white bezel on the bottom. The page turns 95+% of the time.

At first I thought I should put my finger on the screen, move it to the left, then lift it. That does not work. It must be one continuous movement.

I don't believe there is a problem with the page turning, but there is a problem with the instructions on how to do it. Maybe I will post a video when I have time.
