Cat paws... I never leave my device where my cat could walk in it. Their tail or fur might brush it when they are settling in my lap. That water warning sounds annoying. The Glo HD is very sensitive. I've had it sitting on a pillow and movement from the bed caused the page to turn because it hit the airflow from the air conditioner across the room. it turns the page when I turn my head and my headphone wire touches the reader. There is no fix for this.

My Kindles are capacitive and I've never had any of these issues. I own a PW, KFv1, KFHD7, KFHD6, Fire Phone, LG Volt, Moto E, Nexus. 7 and a few other cheap devices. All capacitive. So I'm very familiar with this type of touch. It needs certain kinds of touches to turn the page, fingers, knuckle, noses works. You can buy a stylus as I own a few when I am trying hit the edge of the screen they are very handy.

I prefer this type of screen. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love my Kobo Glo HD but I'm constantly losing my place due to accidental page turning. I'm really excited the Aura One has capacitive.
