Ploblem finding the right spot to touch on KT

I have ONE problem with touch: Can't hit the right spot when I seek.

Here goes:
I read a comic.
Activate search.
Hit "This book" and choose "Dictionary"
Then I type a word to search for.
Then I hit "Go"
And more than half of the times it doesn't work. I can't hit the right "GO" spot.
I know it sounds funny, but I'm a little frustrated. And I don't want to make a frisbee out of my Touch allready.

Anyone else?

IMO they messed up a little with the way search works. If you have typed a search string, and then you bring the search options dialog up, and make a selection, it should initiate search without one having to touch the Go button. But of course that is not the way it works.

I haven't had this problem, but maybe it would work better if you bring the search options dialog and select Dictionary there before typing a search string.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'comic'. Does it matter what type of book you are reading?

Hi tomsem
I read Doonesbury. I think the GO-button is more difficult to hit in comic strips. There is no problem in ordinary books.

Why are you posting about the Kobo Touch in the Amazon forum?

Yes, KT = Kobo Touch as it came out before the Kindle Touch. So using the term KT does mean Kobo Touch.

AKT = Amazon Kindle Touch.

Stop this RIGHT NOW. You presumably think you're being terribly amusing. The rest of the world thinks you're being very, very annoying.

Stop it NOW.

Just press the "<Enter>" key on the keyboard. Does the same thing as pressing the "Go" button, and much easier.
