True story that somebody told me at church:
They were in a doctor's waiting room, and there was a small child (not sure how old) in a stroller. He was handed a picture to look at--I guess a snapshot of someone. Do you know what he did with it? Put his thumb and finger on the paper and made the "bigger" flick-motion you do on a tablet or Kindle device, that increases the size of the picture.
It gives new meaning to the old joke about "I'm squishing your head."
On a more cheerful note: you can download No Regrets: How Homeschooling Earned Me a Master's Degree at Age Sixteen, by Alexandra Swann, for free for the next couple of days. I mentioned the Swanns' books back in August. If you missed No Regrets then, this is your second chance.

I'm actually quite tempted to conclude that this shows how intuitive the tablet interface is, but I have to admit that when I'm reading print books I try to turn the pages by pressing my thumbs down on the edge of the book... technology is infectious!
