Three times now, the touch screen has stopped working. Always in the evening, always in the last 1/4 of a book, and (thus far) always the same author.

I doubt that last is relevant, as that's just who I'm reading right now...but still.

I can still turn pages if I hit the buttons to the sides, but touching the screen only causes the Nook symbol to appear in the upper right corner of the screen. If it goes into sleep mode during this time, it needs to sit for a few minutes before the screen registers my swipe to wake it up.

It will then work fine for a bit, stop again, and maybe work again once I get past a particular section...I've not been as systematic in my observations as I should have been, since I've been busily getting very irritated.

Anyone else run into this problem?
Clean the gap around the screen where the infrared transmitters and receivers that detect touch are located.
Dirt there, even just a hair, will prevent the screen from working correctly.
