As I recall, B&N did some tuning on the touch screen sensitivity with the e-ink nook early on. I never paid much attention to it, because most of it was about page-turn-swipes, which I don't use.

I'm wondering if they set the sensitivity high so it wouldn't act "numb" with the anti-glare or screen protectors on, though I honestly don't know how much those affect the sensitivity in the first place. Is anyone experiencing overly-sensitive screens with one of the overlays on?

Overall, I'm still thrilled with mine ten days on. I'm not sure I can be objective, since I'm still in "new toy" mode. So far, I'm still thrilled with it, and nothing negative has stood out about it to the point that I wish I hadn't bought it. In addition to my usual reading, I've used it to take PDFs and to access Google Docs (read only) in meetings rather than print them out for reference. That works better than using my phone.

My wish list includes: a better, more flexible PDF viewer and the Android 2.2 update. The former would (hopefully) add annotation abilities to PDFs. The latter would update the browser and make Google Docs fully functional.
