Classic switching page turning buttons

sassanik · 03-16-2011, 04:19 AM

Is there a way to switch the page turning buttons? I would like the top one to go to the next page and the bottom one to go back.

I can't seem to figure out how to do this.

I don't think that this is an option, which would be one good reason why you can't seem to figure out how to do it.

Wow, that's really something! I wouldn't want to do it, but it is interesting to see how modifying a Nook would be done via the IP address.

Seems silly not to have it be a standard option. I know it seems backwards to have them reversed, but I find it much more comfortable.

Backwards? I think they are backwards now!

When you want to go forward a page, which way do you swipe? In the direction the "Back" buttons point. And vice-versa.

I suppose you could argue that the swiping gesture is backwards....

yes, that's true, but the swiping motion is supposed to mimic the action you take with a physical book when you turn the page. In that sense, it is correct, IMHO.

However, it did take me awhile to get my head around that idea, and I occasionally still get confused when I want to go back a page.

It seems like it would not be a difficult option for them to add in, and one that would be popular.

I have to say I prefer the buttons on the side of the device to having to swipe my finger on the screen to change the page.
