Remember that the touch operates on an IR detection system, so if you are reading under a strong IR light source, you could encounter problems. There is one particular incandescent light under which I have problems, but nowhere else.

I tried to test your theory last night. I have a lot of problems with missing taps. I read 95% of the time with a LED book light. I started a new book last night and changed the tap location for turning pages (through settings) and virtually no missed taps (maybe one or two for a hundred turned pages); The first time I tried going back a page, I had two missed taps in a row, but then none going forward. I tried both with and without an LED. I believe once before I changed the tap location (in settings), and it helped with missing taps, but the problem came back and changing the settings again didn't seem to help.
I did have one case of the touch stop responding all together last night. I tapped once, and a word highlighted; after this, touch stopped working completely. I got responses to the home button, but tapping/swiping would not respond at all. I had to cycle power. This happened at least once before.
This morning, it missed maybe three taps out of 50.
I've also noticed that if I use the fat of my thumb to try and tap, it will ignore the tap. I also have problems with page tuns using swipe.
My guess it is some combination of things that is causing the page turning problem. Could be some relationship with the ePub itself. The new ePub I just read was rather large (~10MB), where normally ePubs I read are ~(.5MB). I tend to switch hands a lot, so my tapping probably isn't always uniform.
I've used a Nook Touch in the past, and don't recall having problems with taps. I was going to try it last night for a comparison, but I was so in awe of the Kobo working, I didn't want to stop.
