Greg, On my tablet I have become accustomed to using a stylus and not pinching. I like the idea of a fingerprint-less screen for some reason. I think it started when I was using a stylus to write on the tablet because it was easier. So pinching does not work well for me. I do use double tapping when it is available, though.
I am not sure I understand your strategy on the computer. Are you saying that when you select a part of a paragraph, somehow that reduces your tendency to read in another paragraph part? If so, that is not an issue for me. I am more like Don in having trouble finding the next line quickly, sometimes -- not the next paragraph. Again, wait ... Actually I read your message to mention *whole* paragraph, not parts, at first. I'll experiment some with your part paragraphs and see if that helps me, too.
