Which makes me scared to go to the store since the device downloaded one of the free children book by itself without me pressing it. I called B&N about it and the explanation is that the screen is super sensitive, the person didn't know if it worked by heat or pressure. He recommended a screen protector. I asked if there where gloves and he laughed when I told him I was serious he told me B&N didn't sell any (if they start I want royalties!) but recommended latex gloves. Latex gloves would make me look creepy in public. Like I said it's super bright and the size is a little bit smaller than what I'm used to but I think I can adapt. I am used to reading on LCD and never had an eInk device so I can't compare. I mostly read at night so glare is not a problem. Adjusting brightness will help eye strain. The only deal breaker here would be if I can't fix the screen responsiveness issue. This is why I mentioned that I would've liked tactile buttons to turn pages because as soon as I touch the device it starts turning by itself and freezes up. I end up having to turn it off and wiping about every 2 to 3 minutes depending on what I'm doing on it. If I'm browsing my files on it, it goes crazy pretty fast. Which brings me to the OS.

You might try
these when at the beach. I have some & they work better than wet fingers but not as well as dry fingers.
BTW welcome to the forum.
