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.

I read my Kindle books on my Kobos all the time. Calibre + noDRM plugin.

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.

Both @pypeke and @DNSB have posted the link. Why not ask them as well to remove the links?
