Next And Previous Buttons; Touch Screen; Gestures - Barnes & Noble nook User Manual

Next and Previous Buttons

On each side of your nook, there are two buttons:
(Next): Display the next page of content or of a paginated list.
(Previous): Display the previous page of content or of a paginated list
The Next and Previous buttons are typical buttons. When you press one, it moves down, and
you feel and hear a mechanical click. When you do, you can raise your finger. You can also
turn on feedback sounds, which include a button click sound.
The Next and Previous buttons have a small dimple next to them; just to the right of the
buttons on the right side of your nook and just to the left of the buttons on the left side of your
nook. The touch dimples help you find the buttons by touch while reading content.

Touch Screen

The touch screen displays menus, navigation controls, and when needed, a keyboard. It also
displays some messages.
Reach applications including the Library, Store, and Reader from the Home menu. Submenus
allow you to use all of your nook's features.

Gestures

Typing is covered in the section "Keyboard and Typing" below.
The touch screen recognizes several gestures:
Touch: When you touch a Home menu icon, menu choice, or key, the touch screen

highlights the chosen item. But your nook does not perform the requested action until you
raise your finger.
 Tap: This is the most basic gesture for the touch screen. Briefly touch a menu or key and
then immediately raise your finger.
