One in five times I turn a page the font size changes, what am I doing wrong? I use the r to l swipe.

Changing font size happens with a two finger pinch or spread...be sure you are swiping with only one finger, or just use a tap.

It does it to me too, and definitely only using 1 finger. It happens when I swipe really fast. Drives me nuts. Swiping slower keeps it from happening.

I've found swiping tends to give people more trouble. (I'm also not a fan of excessive movement in any kind of repetitive motion.) A simple tap may be more effective for some, and could be worth a try for those who run into this problem..

Doesn't swiping top>bottom or vice versa also change the font size? Make sure your swipe is left>right in a horizontal line (not diagonal).

No, it doesn't. Try it and see.

This is a problem that I noticed with the WP2. It mostly happens in the lower right hand corner. If you solidly land the finger once on the right of the screen it should not happen.

yes, it happens to me, yoo. Another problem I've seen is that when I highlight a word to look it up, an entire phrase is selected, even if I don't move my finger! It's way too sensitive, this new capacitive layer, and that is not good...

Oops. It's my Pocketbook Touch Lux. Sorry. Too many readers, so few brain cells left.
