Turning pages of an electronic document by means of a single snap gesture

A computer program product, comprising a computer-readable hardware storage device having a computer-readable program code stored therein, the program code configured to be executed by a computerized tablet device to implement a method for turning pages of an electronic document by means of a single snap gesture performed on a capacitive touch screen of the tablet device, the method comprising:

• the tablet device displaying a current page of the electronic document on the capacitive touch screen, wherein the electronic document comprises a plurality of pages, and wherein the plurality of pages comprises the current page;
• and
• the tablet device time-quantifying the snap gesture, responsive to receiving the snap gesture via the capacitive touch screen, wherein the time-quantified snap gesture comprises a first data element of direction of the snap gesture (Dr) and a second data element of a linger time of the snap gesture (LT).
