We have finally had a couple of days of full Sun. So I sat in my usual spot and made sure the Sun was hitting the Nook screen. Imagine my surprise when it worked normally. Do these things have some sort of breaking in period? I know that I didn't imagine the problem in the Sun because I tried a number of things and was only able to get a page turn by using the buttons. One of the things I really like about the Nook touch is how sensitive the screen is. When I'm reading in bed, I slip my left hand behind an elastic band that is used to secure my cover. that leaves my fingers hovering just over the right edge of the screen. When I'm ready for a new page, I just lower a finger until it touches the screen and the page flips. I tried that light touch in the Sun today and it worked! Go figure. I suppose that the software could have gotten hung up somehow, but I've never done a full reset. So that begs the question: How did it recover from the problem? I guess I'll never know.
