This way I don't have to get my reader or my stylus dirty/greasy, but can still turn the pages. Without the touchscreen I'd either have to skip the reading or get grease all over the page turn buttons.

2. It comes in very handy during a manicure. I always read during manicures, but hate the parts where I can't turn the pages because my fingers are wet with acetone or nail polish. Today I realized I can prop the reader on the table and lean down and turn the pages by swiping with my nose! I probably looked totally silly, but I didn't care! I doubt I could have pushed a page turn button the same way...

I use a napkin which does a fine job of keeping the page turn buttons clean. I understand what you are saying and I am glad that your system works for you.

I would love to have a picture of what other people in the salon thought as you turned pages with your nose. (grins)
