I hope it can be fixed with the next firmware update(I'm on 4.10.11655 atm).
I wrote a program, which will print a message on screen when I touch it. The test result lead to a bad conclusion: the touch panel may have some issue.

I found that about 5mm width area at both left and right edge of screen is untouchable. At first I think it is a hardware broken problem, but considering the touching offset, I think that kobo may know this hardware defect, so they modified the firmware and then we can trigger the button on the edge of screen.

Actually this problem has little influence in nickel, because the margin of operation page is large. But when we use koreader, the margin is small and we often need to touch the edge of screen, like modifying light. And when we use landscape, the offset becomes up and down, which makes it even worse.

Maybe I should start a vote to see how many people have this issue.
