Today alone: Could not download from the music store unless I bought songs "in the style of" rather the original music from the original artist. When I would search for the original artist it could not be found. When I finally got that all straightened out, the music would not download from the cloud to the device. I don't care what the current trend is, music streamed from the cloud is often jerky and reminds me of of a beat up vinyl record. Stuff on the cloud is useless when you aren't near any wifi.With help from Amazon (and many cautions that the music is "safer" in the cloud) I downloaded one song and then dashed for my iMac and iTunes where the music is always safe with Apple and if you lose it, they will happily assist you to retrieve it for free. It is also safe on my iPhone, iPod, and Time Capsule and iMac.

Touch interpretation is way off today. A sigh will cause pages to be flipped, apps to start and close, while actual finger pounding does not accomplish anything at all. I turned it off and gave it a rest for about a half hour, charged it up and turned i t back on. I now have one book in the carrousel. None on the other bookshelves. About half my apps are gone.

Logging in at various places has been a challenge with the keyboard bouncing up and down as if on springs. It disappears when I need to type and springs back when I don't. And that's just a few of the things that have gone wrong today.
The touch sensitivity issue with the KF screen has been a problem for me since I received the unit. I remember my husband laughing at me trying to deal with the keyboard and the settings/notification bar when i first got it and it's still a problem. Very frustrating. Bounce, bounce.

Part of it may be my getting used to dealing with a touch screen but I've had an Archos 500 for 4 years and a couple of Sharp Zauruses for much longer and no issues with them whatsoever as far as their touch screens. Also have a Kodak touchscreen camera, come to think of it.
Anyway, I wanted to send it back when i first got it because of those problems.
