True, but on the Oasis you can't access any menu or use the dictionary in this mode. You have to put the device to sleep and wake it up to activate the touch screen again. I've never used the setting except to see how it works. It's not an option I'd use.

On a Paperwhite, since there are no page turn buttons, you swipe to turn the page, and have to "wake-sleep" to activate normal touch. I've tried it on the Paperwhite, and it's not great as it doesn't seem to recognize most swipes and ends uptake 2-3 before it turns the page. This is extremely awkward when trying hold the device in one hand.
