Delayed Enlightenment

About seven years ago I bought a tablet computer more out of curiosity than need. I bought a fairly cheap one; paying about £70 so far as I can remember.

It could do lots of things, but the accompanying instructions were so scanty as to be almost negligible. In particular there was no indication of how one might delete something, and there was a lot that I wanted to delete. The device came with a library of e-books, most of them in Russian or other Slavic languages.

Today I investigated the device again, searching the web for instructions, and got to the point of being able to conjure up a 'delete' button, but for a while I couldn't get it to do anything, until I discovered that while pressing the button just once achieved nothing however long I pressed, two short presses conjured up a menu offering deletion as an option. I no longer have Russian books on my tablet!!
