Thanks, arspr, GERGE, and filmofor the INFRARED vs CAPACITIVE screen replies.

I actually did lots of research before posting, but the information I found, including YouTube videos, was related to LED technology, not e-ink screen technology.

Since I only have a Paperwhite 2 (capacitive), and since the Glo HD will be infrared, I could not "tranlate" information about LED screens into insights about e-ink screens.

Your posts helped, however. One of my "gripes" about the PW2 is that using either my finger or a capacitive stylus continues to be awkward when highlighting passages when the lines-per-inch is minimized. I was hoping that the infrared technology would produce more responsive highlighting results.

Speaking of research, on MobileRead forums when you type in a SEARCH subject, it brings up all the threads in which the search words were mentioned, but not specific posts. Since some of the thread go on for dozens of pages, it is not very helpful in looking for what is needed....UNLESS I'm doing it wrong!

Is there a better way to do research like this on MobileRead?

Thanks again!
