Using NOOK Gestures
Your NOOK puts great reading material right at your fingertips. To read that
content, to rate it, and so on, you’ll use your fingers in different ways.
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.
Double Tap
Tapping twice quickly on the screen is a useful shortcut 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.
Press and Hold
Pressing and holding means touching your finger to the screen and holding
it there for 2 seconds.
In many situations, pressing and holding causes your NOOK to open a
menu at the bottom of the screen. The menu offers you choices about the
image your finger is resting on.
For example, if you press and hold on a word in a book, your NOOK opens
a menu offering you choices of things you can do with that book: highlight
the word, write a note, look up the word in a dictionary, and so on.
Swipe
To swipe is to slide your finger across the screen, usually to the left or right.
