Awkward? You can press or swipe. Does it make a difference if you're touching the bezel instead of the screen?

- girvo 11y agoIt does. Being able to rest your hand on the button and move a tiny amount to trigger it, vs having to keep your hand on the bezel and move your finger further for the touchscreen. Its only a tiny difference, but it adds up when you're talking tens of thousands of pages!
- dave2000 11y agoI rest my thumb on the edge of the bezel and just roll it fractionally to the left so that it touches the extremely sensitive touch screen when I want to turn the page. Think of it as exercise; over my lifetime I expect to burn several calories doing this. I'd hate to spend all that money and end up with fat thumbs!
- riffraff 11y agoMy one-hand usage is to hold and tap with my thumb. But often I tap the screen and hit a word rather than blank space, shich pops up the dictionary. This is so frustrating that I have basically trained myself to always swipe. But swiping with one hand is not a very comfortable thing. The 3g kindle's side button where a lot more pleasant to use.
