Touch-Screen Navigation

The touch-screen allows for quick, easy and conve ni ent navigation for all applications. The eReader has a “resi stive touch” screen which responds best to a hard pointed

object or the tip of your fingernail, as opposed t o a tap of the soft skin of an outstretched fingertip. Curl your finger over so that the tip of your fingernai l is used.

The fingernail's hard, cur ved surface contacts t he screen at one small point. Therefore, much less finger pressure is needed, much greater precision is possible (approaching that of a stylus, with a little exp er i ence), much less skin oil i s smeared onto the screen, and the fingernail can be silently moved across the screen with very little resistance.

The smaller the point that comes in contact with the screen , the more precise

object selection can be. If you do not have long enough finger nails to be used for precise tapping, we recommend using a styl us or non-sharp pointed instrument to increase the precision of navigation.

Throughout the User Guide, you are instructed to use the following tap or touch navigation methods:

Tap - quick tap & release on a n item on the screen. Finger slide - touch & slide your finger across the screen and then release. Touch & hold = touch and hold in place approx 2 seconds, and then relea se to

display an options window.
