eReaders on iOS suck because they can't have this obvious feature.
You can do some weird keymapping using accessibility options to get a remote keyboard to make page changes if you want.

I really hate this rule. The Snapchat camera used to fire with the volume controls and now it is much harder to take a selfie. To add insult to injury, Apple’s own native camera app does this same thing! You can’t even argue that it’s a confusing experience if you, yourself, do it too.

There is a permitted API these days for physical capture buttons. Can't blame Apple if Snapchat doesn't adopt it.

That would suck for any kindle reader people. One of the best features is volume to switch pages.
> 2.5.9 Apps that alter or disable the functions of standard switches, such as the Volume Up/Down and Ring/Silent switches, or other native user interface elements or behaviors will be rejected.
Infamously, there was a third party camera app, Camera+, that turned the Volume Up button into a shutter release. Apple pulled it from the store—and then released the same feature for the built in Camera app.
