Abstract
A method and system for utilizing a non-screen capacitive touch surface for bookmarking an electronic personal display is disclosed. One example provides a capacitive touch sensing surface on at least two non-planar portions of a housing of the electronic personal display. The capacitive touch sensing surface is monitored for a pinch and slide type contact from at least two non-planar points. In so doing, when the pinch and slide type contact is detected a bookmarking operation on the electronic personal display is performed.
