Yes, this.
It could be done with a plugin for calibre.

I've looked into this, and a recent related request to disable menu opening on swipe.

Without any extended testing, this works for me on Sage and Forma for firmware 4.38.23697.

Code:
#killswipes
kill fw/bckw swipes:
  - Enabled: yes
  - Description: disable swipes for page turns
  - ReplaceBytes:
      Offset: 0xF6751C
      FindH: 1D F7 28 CC 
      ReplaceH: 00 BF 00 BF
  - ReplaceBytes:
      Offset: 0xF6752A
      FindH: 1A F7 F0 C8 
      ReplaceH: 00 BF 00 BF

kill menu swipes:
  - Enabled: yes
  - Description: disable swipes for menu open
  - ReplaceBytes:
      Offset: 0xF67568
      FindH: 3F F7 E6 CA 
      ReplaceH: 00 BF 00 BF
  - ReplaceBytes:
      Offset: 0xF67570
      FindH: 12 F7 A2 CB 
      ReplaceH: 00 BF 00 BF

Yes, (to clarify) not showing any series with one book and tapping only to swipe pages are 2 very different things.

I'll add this to the patches for 4.38.23697 when I post. But before I can post this, I need two things done. I need to know which patch file these patches belong in and I need a better description. As it is, this will make no sense to most people.

I've put it in my libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml.

As for the description, I think it's already pretty factual and precise. Maybe change the comment from #killswipes to #disable swipe gesture. Feel free change it if you can think of something better.
