its NOT about pressing hard or light
its about 'touch TIME', it is a different OS
its no harder to use, once you get used to it
touch any word for a second or two
then adjust the highlight section for what you want and choose copy delete etc..
you are used to doing touch and swipe using the apple OS
with android .. touch an swipe, with out waiting for the highlight is turn page/slide screen
same gesture different response
you have too change (get used too) to using the android gestures NOT the apple gestures you are used too doing
