I wonder if hardware is varying a bit here?

I couldn't get it to trigger light adjustment instead of page turn until I was swiping at past a 45 degree angle from horizontal. This is on an H2O.
I'm all in favour of more Advanced settings, though. Light swipe on and off seems like it would be a fine one to have, if people want it.

I don't think it is the hardware,but the way people do it.
When I swipe lefthanded,without change the settings of where to touch the screen,I can go back and forward by swiping the left side.
When my partner tries, she always ended one page back.
When I really want to change the light with my hand on the left side of the screen, I always highlight words and sentences and I never manage to change the light the first 2 or 3 times.
So that is why I don't do it, but having said that I would only do it for testing because from the beginning my light is on the same 33% on both readers.
So it is not the hardware,but the people who operate it, when you shake a little with a tired finger you already activate the wrong things and that is where Kobo makes her mistakes.
They are all made on the drawing board,without thinking about the way real humans use and touch their devices,no one does it the same way.
Kobo must think..the main reasons to touch the screen are page switching,highlighting words. All the rest must be put on an option screen,you can't keep adding functions to the screen itself because at the end,you have one square of 2 cm to turn pages.
That is the choice they made at the moment they put of any hardware buttons.
