I don't use annotations and rarely use the dictionary, so I would like an option to turn off long touch detection. In this case, the Kobo would only see taps and swipes. Maybe this would make page turning more efficient.
I love the Annotations function - it means I can mark up the file for editing whilst actually reading the book (many old sci-fi books/stories were printed on such poor paper that all sorts of errors creep in at the point of scanning). However, I don't see why there can't be a switch for this sort of thing.
