Pinch Zoom:
The Pinch is a finger gesture used with a touch screen interface that uses two or more fingers to zoom in and out. Just place your index finger and thumb about a half an inch apart on the screen and slide them apart to zoom in. Slide your fingers back together to zoom out.
Double-Tapping:
Many tablets allow you to tap the screen twice in rapid succession to zoom in. However you must perform the "reverse pinch" move to zoom back out.
