Does the webpage only redraw after you finish the scrolling gesture? I've got a Kobo Touch and the page follows my finger around as I drag it, and then fully redraws once I stop. In exchange though, I can't download anything or do right clicks.
Toasted,
Buttons don't function to scroll on my Nook Touch.
The Nook Touch (undocumented) browser does not attempt to redraw as you gesture, it redraws after -- that is, when the gesture works. Vertical scrolling seems hit-or-miss. I wasn't able to use horizontal scrolling.

The browser software is similar to the first edition's browser, but much faster page loads, and buggy. ...but don't get me wrong. I think it's a great epub reader, and a mediocre PDF reader, and adding a almost tolerable web browser (without rooting) is pretty cool.
