Kobo Touch will not turn pages

eddie19 · 03-26-2012, 10:00 AM

This is the third book where I have experienced this problem. I get so far through the book and then the page turn fails, in fact it sometimes goes back, rather than forward. For the previous two books I switched off and started again (rather than going to sleep mode), but with my present book even that has not worked. Touching or swiping the right hand side of the screen, either there is no response or it goes back a page. I had great difficulty getting the navigation bar, and when it did appear it would not work.

I am using 1.9.17 firmware. Anyone else experienced page turn problems

If you search forum you will see plenty of talk about this.
General answer: to eliminate the issue just use "swipe" rather than touch.
Also, the touch screen has very low sensor resolution, so touching it with small footprint will not work. E.g. stylus or even finger nail won't work.
