Your pandigital novel uses a “resistive touch” screen which responds best to a hard pointed object or the tip of your fingernail, as opposed to a tap of the soft skin of an outstretched fingertip. Curl your finger over so that the tip of your fingernail is used.
The fingernail's hard, curved surface contacts the screen at one small point. Therefore, much less finger pressure is needed, much greater precision is possible (approaching that of a stylus, with a little experience), much less skin oil is smeared onto the screen, and the fingernail can be silently moved across the screen with very little resistance.
The smaller the point that comes in contact with the screen, the more precise object selection can be. If you do not have long enough finger nails to be used for precise tapping, we recommend using a stylus or
Launch Application Quick Launch Bar – Finger slide upward (using your finger
nail) from the bottom of the screen to display the Application Quick Launch Bar.
