Touch-Screen Navigation

The touch-screen allows for quick, easy and convenient navigation for all applications.

The eReader has a resistive touch screen which responds best to a hard pointed object or the tip of your fingernail, as opposed to a tap of the soft skin of an outstretched fingertip. Curl your finger over so that the tip of your fingernail is used. The fingernail's hard, curved surface contacts the 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 experience), much less skin oil is 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 stylus 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 an 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 release to display an options window.

Reset Device

If the device freezes and does not respond to your touch, reset by inserting a paper clip into the reset hole at the top of the device.
