Touch Does it happen to you?

afv011 · 11-29-2011, 07:03 PM

I have been reading on my nook touch for several months now, and just recently I was asked to read a paper book. While reading the pbook, I have found myself, every now and then, pressing on a word on the pbook to bring-up the "look-up" menu, or thinking "put it in stand-by" when I'm done reading...

This is kind of mortifying, but I have in the past squeezed the edge of a paper book to try and turn the page. It took a few tries before I remembered that paper books don't have page turn buttons.

Yeah, force of habit, it's been a long time since I read a paper book, hard to go back actually, missing all the formatting options and lightness, but some books are not available in electronic format.

I have done odd gestures here and there that are burned into my muscle memory of using touch screen devices.
