I am seeing issues with my Nook Simple Touch losing touch responsiveness as the battery drops under 75%.
The battery on mine got down to 72% last night and the touch sensitivity seemed to get much less. I was having to double-tap to get a response. After a restart (power off and on), it seemed a tiny bit better but still not as good.
This morning I recharged my Nook and the touches are being seen again.
I fear we are seeing a power issue with the IR sensors. The engineers were probably asked to lengthen battery life at the cost of the IR hardware.
Hopefully they can fix this with an update.
