Press And Hold; Swipe; Scroll - NOOK GLOWLIGHT PLUS User Manual

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 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 the word up in a dictionary, and so on.
Pressing and holding on a word in a book and then lifting your finger opens the Text Selection Toolbar.

Swipe

To swipe is to slide your finger across the screen, usually to the left or right.
You can swipe to turn pages in a book you are reading.
Swiping to scroll left and right.

Scroll

Slide your finger up or down the screen to scroll through any list displaying up and down arrows at the bottom of the
screen. A scroll gesture is like a vertical swipe.
