Goes Back A Page
Occasionally, and for no reason that I can determine, when I hit the right side of my screen to go forward a page, instead, it goes back a page. This behavior is really annoying.
My wife, who has the previous model Nook, says hers occasionally does the same thing. Is this a known problem or behavior with Nooks? Is there a way to fix this? |

Could it be that when you reach over to tap the right side of the screen your finger/thumb slips a little bit? If so, the Nook could be reading that as a swipe left which makes the book page backwards. Does the page forward button ever cause the book to go back a page? |

This happens to me, too. My current theory is that my finger makes a tiny right-ward motion (as suggested by ZodWallop) and the Nook thinks I deliberately swiped right. I just use the buttons when that happens. The buttons do work correctly.
I think I said that correctly this time. Last edited by nellie27; 01-19-2019 at 12:45 PM. Reason: fixed right and left |
