Had an interesting experience yesterday. I was reading on the Vox while using one of the electronic exercise bikes at the gym (the same thing happened on the Elliptical machine) and found that the screen would not advance by finger touch or swipe. As long as it was leaning against the electronic display on the bike or elliptical, the screen was only responsive to exaggerated swipes. Picking the device up solved the problem immediately. I presume that it is some form of interference but is a deal breaker for me. Has anyone else seen this issue?
