Glo HD vs Clara for touch responsiveness
For those that went from Glo HD to a Clara, was there a difference in touch responsiveness?

One thing that's always been a problem for me with the Kobo's was their touch responsiveness: I often get missed taps, occasionally a page back instead of forward, hard to type on the keyboard. I recently purchased a Kindle PW3, and the touch screen was much, much better.*

Ive just migrated from a PW2 to Clara HD and have had no issue with touch responsiveness - it's been trouble free so far. Admittedly, I've only had it a week, but it's had a solid workout in that week

Please, I'm particularly interested in going from a Glo HD to a Clara, as the Glo HD is my reference point.

Please don't take this personally stuartjmz, I just don't want this to turn into a Kindle vs Kobo flamewar, or I don't have any problems vs. I do have problems, ...

No problem, I'm not offended. I simply misunderstood, and thought having come from a similar PW device my comparison might have been helpful. My apologies

I got a Clara when my old Glo HD gave up the ghost last week, the Clara is pretty good, but I do feel that the Glo HD was slightly more responsive.

Thanks for the response.

And to be clear, I am not asking about quickness, I am asking about missed taps, misinterpreting taps, ...

I would say that my Clara HD is a little bit better for the touch responsiveness. But, I think recent firmware has improved things on the Glo HD. I'm not noticing as many missed taps when writing annotations one either device. I've never had much of a problem with missed page-turning taps or it paging backwards, so I can't judge that.
