Glad it's not just me! Well, I mean, I'm not glad other Voyage users have a similar problem, but I'm glad I don't have an 'off' model.

A quick tap is what I usually use, just slightly above the bottom of the screen area about 3/4" to an inch from the left.

That doesn't work for me for some reason. Thanks for the tip though and glad it works for you.

That does help. After some playing around, it seems to work best for me by starting below the screen slightly to the right of the middle dot (the dot located to the right of the percent read number and to the left of the other changing info) and then swiping diagonally up to the left to the middle dot area. It seems to work on the first try or at worst the second or third, so much better than the ten tries per option I was doing before. It also works swiping diagonally right from left of the middle dot or straight up from just below the middle dot, but for me it's most reliable swiping diagonally left to it. Thanks!

My wifi and 3g are always on so it auto-updates from time to time, and the update option in the Device Options menu is greyed out so that I can't press it. Yet the issue never got better for me so far. Hm, so I just checked. My firmware is 5.8.5.0.2 but a google search tells me that the latest available is 5.8.7.0.1. I plugged it in and restarted it but it still won't let me update. I know I can do it manually but I haven't plugged my kindle into my computer in so long it'd be a big to-do; any ideas on how to get it going wirelessly?
