All of that is completely useless, though, when I'm deep into a story and I tap the screen and move my eyes to the top of the page and see...the same page I was reading. If that happened once in a while, it would be one thing. Unfortunately, it happens two or three times in an hour of reading. Even worse is when I'm reading in bed, and the corner of the blanket touches the screen and turns the page.
I realize that there are people who have issues with capacitive screens, and for them, the IR screens on the Kobo readers are great. I had a lot of issues with the IR touchscreen on the Kindle Touch, too, and gave that away after about 2 weeks. The fact that I still use my HD at all is a testament to how much I love the UI of my Kobo. I just wish I could love the touch screen as well.

That's exactly how I feel. My kindle just works. As much as I love to be able to darken fonts and tweak the reading experience, I rather stability and smooth page turns.
