Hello:

I am most often reading PDFs for which it makes no sense to either 1) look words up in a dictionary, 2) highlight text, or 3) record notes or comments.

Yet, because there are no page turn buttons, I often find myself triggering erroneous invitations to use those features. These invitations, if recognized in time, can be turned off by tapping the screen, but it is still somewhat distracting.

I would be grateful if there was some way to turn off these features while reading such documents.

Apart from some additional quirky behavior from the native book application (up to a 20 second delay opening some mobi or epub format books), I am quite happy with the device (compared to the highly locked down and pdf hostile kindles).

Thank you for any information you may be able to provide.
