The long press -- for instance, in the Library to bring up the context menu to manage a book, or in the book itself to add a highlight or notation -- rarely works for me under 3.15. And when I release the press, the reader normally interprets the whole thing as a single tap, and turns the page in whichever direction. (In the Library, usually that, or else it sometimes opens the book.) So annoying.

I doubt it's a hardware issue. This feature was working (well, not absolutely reliably, but most of the time) under 3.12.1 and earlier, but under 3.15 it almost never works at all. I tried a factory reset and re-installation of my Aura HD, but there's no improvement. (And yes, I've checked that the screen and bevel are clean, and that the device is fully charged.) I guess I'll go back to 3.12.1 for the moment.

I contacted Kobo CC to raise it as an issue, but they had no answer (currently). Others are seeing this though, right?
I think They tweaked the sensitivity. I've had a couple of accidental page turns (while in the library, in 3.15) while trying to do tap and hold.
