The pointing device in iBook is a trackpad. The trackpad is a solid-state device that emulates a mouse by sensing the motions of the user's finger over its surface and translating those motions into digital signals.
A single button below the trackpad is used to make selections. Alternatively, the user can tap and double tap on the pad itself. As described in the user's manual, the trackpad responds to one or two taps on the pad itself as one or two clicks of the button. The user can tap and drag on the trackpad in much the same manner as clicking and dragging with the mouse.
