The problem I have with the touch screen is that when reading a book, there seems to be horizontal "dead zone" near the bottom of the screen, I estimate a horizontal band about 8mm in height, starting 6mm from the bottom. As this area works just fine in the home screen and the virtual keyboard, I conclude that this must be a firmware issue. Of course if you're unaware of this dead zone it may seem as if the touch screen is randomly unresponsive, but at least on my unit that is not the case.

Apart from this I find that the touch screen works quite well.
