Using Gestures to Control Your NOOK
Your NOOK puts great reading material right at your fingertips. To read that material, to share it, to rate it, and so on, you’ll use
your fingers in dierent ways.
Your NOOK recognizes these dierent gestures:
• Tap
• Doubletap
• Pressandhold
• Swipe
• Scroll
Tap
A tap on the screen is a quick touch of your fingertip. It’s the same gesture you use when you tap a key on a computer keyboard.
Tapping a book cover
Double Tap
Tapping twice quickly on the screen is a useful short-cut for many features.
In the Library or the Shop, double-tapping the cover of a book or periodical opens a window with details about the item.
