A resistive touchscreen requires you to press it to register a swipe, so in your case I would guess that you simply didn't press it hard enough when swiping. Pressing just a little bit more would probably fix any problems you have with the touchscreen. Personally I have never had any problem with the touchscreen on my PRS-900, but then I've never used a capacitive touchscreen so I'm used to having to press the screen.
The new touchscreen technology used by the Sony readers doesn't seem to need any pressure on the screen at all, so hopefully it will be easier to use. But I guess the jury is still out on that one until we get more reviews of the new readers.
