Having problems with the touchscreen when charging.

I have had the same experience. I do notice that the Nook Color plug is slightly bent, but I don't know whether it started bent (and thus the difficulty in insertion) or it became bent while trying to plug it in the first time.

I also don't really care. Other than the first night, I haven't used the B&N charger, instead preferring the charger already on my nightstand for charging my other microUSB devices.

Just to clarify for anyone coming into this thread late (and with absolutely no offense meant to jswinden): The NC will work with a standard microUSB cable for hooking up to a PC or slow charging from the PC.

It's the included quick-charger with the light-up "N" that uses a variation on the micro USB plug.
