The latest Kindle update lets you turn pages by double-tapping

Amazon will let you tap the side of your Kindle twice to turn pages and scroll menus.

Good E-Reader speculates Amazon is relying on the accelerometer inside Kindles to detect taps. These are short summaries "for thousands of bestselling English language Kindle books in series you have purchased or borrowed." The company already does things like automatically group books from the same series to make them easier to find, but this should save you the trouble of looking up a summary of A Dance with Dragons before diving into The Winds of Winter — assuming it's ever released.
