Unfortunately for me it's significantly slower than before (when turning pages), and it seems the threshold between a page turn and text selection has been changed. As a result I end up selecting text a lot more by mistake, where I simply want to turn the page.

It's also exacerbated by the fact that it's slower, so I'm never sure if the touch has been registered or not, so I tend to press a bit longer, which in turn triggers the text selection. Alternatively since the page doesn't seem to be turning due to the slowness I touch again, and end up going forward 2 pages.

Has anyone else noticed something of the sort? Basically I haven't changed anything in the way I read, but since this upgrade it has really become a hassle to use my Kobo
What font are you using? The change that is most likely to slow things down when reading is the change for the font used for the "Publisher Default". This has changed to larger font that will probably take more memory. And as the Glo has very limited RAM, this could slow it down. The font was previously "Georgia". If you try that now, it might be better.
