> it feels way more natural to press a button than make a slide motion, to the point where you don't even realize you're pressing the button after a few pages of immersive reading, unlike the slide action which breaks the continuity

You probably know this already, but on my PW1, you only need to tap the right hand side of the screen to go forward a page, and similarly, you tap the left hand side to go back a page.

Sadly, it feels to me that half of the side taps I make end up pulling up the dictionary on a word. The 3g side buttons were not prone to "misclicks" :(

Not reliable enough in my experience. And you need to either hold the Kindle exclusively with your right hand, or move your hand more than with corner buttons.
