Got a new 650 last week, moved up from the 505. Like the thinner body and the readability of the screen is better. But, I'm finding that it's easy to accidentally skip ahead or back by inadvertently touching the screen. It's quite sensitive and I'm constantly having to re-find where I was because pages have raced forward or back due to accidentally touching the screen. A pain.
I also have the fancy cover with the light. It's nice but seems to make this issue even worse. Seems easier to avoid unintentional touches with a naked 650.
Any touch-screen vets have advice on this? Do you "get used to it?" Can you turn the touchscreen off, make it less sensitive?
Thanks for any suggestions
