Yup. Despite what anyone claims, when it comes to touch screens, it's never a simple matter of "you're just doing it wrong". I'm
not knocking B&N - they tested this like crazy and put out a good product.
I have problems with capacitive touch screens in general, so I knew this would be a bit more of an issue for me, which is why I wrote my "findings". It has a lot to do with the moisture levels of the skin on my hands - I have very dry skin, to the point of needing to moisturize my hands even during very humid weather. Yes, this also means that my results are therefore less consistent, so I must be that much more consistent in how I swipe / flick. It also means that other little factors, like cases, screen guards, etc., that only normally have a small effect the on the sensor array field then become a daily use factor. For those that have a similar problem, this might help them. If it helps only one other person, GREAT! :-)
Specific implementations of capacitive sensor arrays work better for me than others, but I've not found any information as to which capacitive technology the nook uses (projected / mutual / self, etc.). Yes, I know; it's truly a moot point. I've already figured it out and, even if I hadn't, it wouldn't change how much I heart my nook!
