I would ideally like a Choice 5 that is like Choice 1, except that all tap zones, save for bringing up options, are page forward (i.e., you only get to page back by swiping). See attached lousy sketch.
Now that Kobo, in the latest firmware, gives us the choice to choose swiping only or both tapping and swiping, I would love it if they went this one step further. Or, at minimum, significantly decreased the page back column widths in Choices 2 and 3.

Absolutely agree, not satisfied with the current choices.
As i frequently change hands, the only tap page turn option i find usable is the number 4.But its lackluster too.Naturally the thumb is about the middle of the reader(where the setting are in option 4) and i often have to reposition my hand to do a page turn and at times i accidentally activate settings.
The option you proposed seems logical, as i would suppose back is very rarely used and its mainly forward with the device of this kind. I would add small change though, by dedicating a small strip on the very bottom or top(ideally both choices) for going back(with the middle being settings).Attached pic to be clear what im talking about.
