It sounds like that guy is more perturbed that one has to tap in a specific spot - which I don't mind! Tapping in the lower-right to turn the page makes sense to me.

Some of the comments on the post of other people's experiences are a little more alarming, though. :/
I guess I'll try turning it off/on a few more times. If I have to do that, it's annoying, but if I can at least find a working solution, I'll feel a little better.
