Still, I wonder whether other factors (such as newer firmware) might be partly responsible for the Aura's superior responsiveness. |

I have large fingers, I almost have to use a stylus just to unlock the screen on my phone. I have no problem unlocking the TAB 2, but still have trouble making a selection in many places and almost always switch to landscape to use the keyboard.
As for touchpads: I had to disable tapping, I could not ever use the ones on my (any) laptops without generating false clicks I read 1 handed (mostly, right) on my PEz. I can't see how I can securely hold AND tap/swipe, 1 handed (tried on my TAB and failed (=dropped (safe, was reading in a soft bed ) ) |

Or perhaps it's a different/faster screen controller, not implausible since the screen is larger/higher rez, which makes the difference.

In a Windowed OS, it's a folder shaped icon. But, it's still called a directory/subdirectory regardless of the shape of the icon. Plus, a folder is a paper product.

I must try that. If a store lets me pay in USD or GBP, it's often cheaper than paying directly in euro's.

Just remember in most cases you won't be able to use coupons on Agency books. I know books that I'm able to use a coupon on in my country won't work when switched to US.
