I've really been enjoying my new Touch and the super fast responsiveness of the screen. All it takes is just a very light touch to turn the page. Well, the other night I was reading on my Kindle Touch and a fly landed on my screen and turned the dat-gummed page! I shooed it away, but it flew on it again and turned my page again! I laughed out loud. I couldn't believe that the Touch was so sensitive that a fly could turn the page! (It doesn't take much to put a smile on my face.)  |

That is too funny! I've noticed it's very sensitive!

It sounds like the fly was enjoying the book.  |

Sad comment on the educational system when a fly can read faster than you.  Just kidding, don't hurt me. |

And that is why I like buttons better than touch screens. I am always touching my Fire or Droid wrong (on the sides even?) and turning pages or going to a whole different site.

I found that I sometimes touched the wrong thing on the Fire and decided to try a stylus. It has greatly improved my Fire experience. I bought a four pack for $6.99 on Amazon. They are now $6.59. They can probably be used on your droid too.  |

I remember last summer when I read my K3 in bed & used a book/kindle light to read with. 3 different times, I had a fly going after my kindle, because of the light. The fly would chase me from the bedroom to the bathroom & back. It was lucky that I did not break my kindle trying to swat the fly away.

Flies and gnats just love the Kindle Lights! You really have to watch it and not whack your poor Kindle to death! |

If I could figure a way to attach it to my Fire case--- it wraps around and you can hook the stylus on it. It would be quite handy so you wouldn't lose your stylus if it had some kind of sticky or velcro to attach it to a case. |

Oh, I see. I thought it looked so short I couldn't visualize how it would work.

It's just an add on freebie they throw in the package. . . .completely unrelated to the stylus. It's for tying up cables, actually. . .. not really designed, necessarily, to work with the stylus, though a creative person might figure out a way. |

Now you tell me! I only know because I got a similar thing in a pack of 3 styli I ordered. . . .then I read the details on the product page and it calls it a 'cable tie'.  |

They can probably be used on your droid too. I have some that look almost like that but paid less than $2 (I think) on Amazon for a 3 pack. I know I just got a 2nd order in today. I am always misplacing this kind of thing. Yes, they help, but don't prevent page turns from accidental touches and bumps or fly |

That's funny! Haven't had a fly problem, but my cat has turned the page on my KT with a flick of his tail. |
