The Voyage is used only rarely or if I go outside during the daytime to read.
After downloading and installing the update on my Voyage, it got stuck on page 1 of 7 in the Getting Started guide. It took me a few minutes to make it turn pages. Touching the > symbol at the bottom-right of the screen did nothing, nor did swiping, nor did pressing harder. What finally worked was thumping my finger down on it rather hard! I got frustrated, but that actually worked.  (BTW, I keep the page buttond on the sides turnrd off, so they could not be used in this instance.) After I got through the Getting Started guide I noticed that I had to thump hard on some menu icons to get them to work. Other icons and turning pages within books worked fine, that is, by gently touching the screen. After using the Voyage for a little while the need to thump hard on menu icons seems to be going away. I'm not sure what caused this interface issue nor why it seems to be getting better with use. |
Strange. I have the Voyage as well and for me it seems like the reading experience is slightly better than before. I keep the pagepress on, but I have it as high pressure so I don't accidentally turn pages. It seems to be working much more fluidly since the update (as least to my non scientific observations)
