HarryT; Whaaat?

HarryT,

To ghostwheel’s comments and questions I add the following: Have you never touched a button twice, because of a slow response, only to find that two touches were entered? Have you ever handed your DR to someone else, so that they could read something, and had them accidently turn the page by getting a thumb too near a button?

When I read on my Hanlin, I hold the thing with my thumb on the Page Turn button--when I finish a page, I press the button and feel the tactile ‘click’ and know that my press has registered. Every time, the Hanlin’s response is exactly as I intended, and I suffer no distractions from what it is I intend to do--read, and not be distracted, frustrated and annoyed.

I’m glad that you find any of this “just fine,” but I have to wonder what, if anything, you might object to, and I will ask what possible advantage you might see to having these switches on the DR might be; that is, how does anyone benifit from them.
