Yes, it is a two finger swipe and as such it requires multi-touch. Something that Kobo has only implemented on the Aura's capacitive screen from what I know.

I've had it show up on at least three books that I've read since I got my Aura (and I've had it less than a month). It picked up some bits of Irish mythology in a fantasy book I was reading (it was interesting to read the real details of the mythology and not the alternative version usedin the book). I also had things show up, including a beyond the book tile on my home screen, for the Colorado Kid by Stephen King (the beyond the book tile was details on another one of his novels so it wasn't of any interest to me). Unfortunately I think that that's it for this book. It seems to work on algorithms since in the book with a lot of mythological terms a lot of info was collated while the Colorado Kid which has a more small town vocabulary has very little popping up.
It still has room to grow but from my experience it's off to an auspicious beginning (like I said, in
my experience).
