Yes, you can swipe and/or use page buttons. Calibre and Kobo play very nicely together, but Kobo won't work for amazon books, if they have DRM. I'd honestly recommend Calibre either way it's great for backup and transferring books to either reader. I'm not sure why would you need to move books from devices instead of downloading them from site? eBook reader blog has a comparison between those two ereaders.

A bit of conversion with calibre and DeDRM and you can read your ebooks on pretty much any platform. For me, calibre and Kobo have unmatched capability when it comes to managing metadata.

Yes, I've bought ebooks from Amazon for over a decade and now only read them on Kobo, mostly the Sage. My Paperwhite registered to Amazon is rarely even turned on. However it's possible to deDRM Amazon ebooks bought for the App, it's just more complicated to setup. Also used Kobo store and Smashwords (who are DRM free).
