Using Gestures To Control Your Nook Color - Barnes & Noble NOOK Color User Manual

Using Gestures to Control Your NOOK Color

Your NOOK Color 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 different ways.
Your NOOK Color recognizes these different gestures:
• Tap
• Double tap
• Press and hold
• Swipe
• Scroll
• Drag
• Lift
• Pinch
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 com-
puter keyboard.
Tapping on an icon in the Quick Nav Bar.
Double Tap
Tapping twice quickly on the screen is a useful short-cut with many features.
Double-tapping on the Home Screen cleans up the screen and arranges all the book and periodical covers in a grid.
In the Library or the Shop, double-tapping on the cover of a book or periodical opens a window with details about
the item.
