If it is removed, it would make the quick check of a reference link, require a menu lookup to return to the flow of the book/document.  The tap the left side AND swipe left to right both go to the previous page, while reading.  For those who Tap, the Swipe is the natural alternative way to go back.  \r\n\r\nNot sure there is any set rule, that means anything, as much as a matter of style enshrined in certain web design texts.\r\n"}}
