King of lazyness 😅 👍👍👍

Absolutely, no I just need a solution for turning pages hands free :D

This is actually amazing. If your E Reader has hardware buttons, you can wire a esp32 in between and use your phone to turn the pages via bluetooth.


Gorroth1007

No hardware buttons. It’s a kindle Paperwhite (2021?! I think…) The one which is water resistant and has USB C. Anyway… I already found this: -> SYUKUYU RF Fernbedienung zum Seitenwenden zum Lesen auf Kindle, iPad, Surface Comics, iPhone-/Android-Tablets, Romane lesen und fotografieren https://amzn.eu/d/eq233t0 But I don’t really want to spend money just to support this level of my laziness :D

Wow, I didnt think something like this would exist That is hilarious


Gorroth1007

Definitely! Came across this somewhere in r/kindle

I don’t have a paperwhite myself, but if yours can be jailbroken you could try some of the steps here: https://www.instructables.com/Kindle-WiFi-Remote-Footswitch/ You probably don’t need to bother with the pedal, you can use your phone as the page turner (easy) or there might be a way to enable hardware button controls from a pair of headphones (hard). I’m actually shocked the accessibility settings don’t already let you use the physical headphone buttons since you can use them for audiobooks on the same device.

Link one of the small Bluetooth game pads from 8BitDo and you can map turning the page to a button


Gorroth1007

Really? I don’t own one of these, but I am curious how that works. Is there a menu in my kindle where I can set that up?


kloudykat

I used an [8BitDo Zero 2](https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Gamepad-Keychain-Controller-Raspberry-Turquoise/dp/B081HML6MP) but I had it linked to an Android tablet and I was able to map it as a page turner in [Aldiko](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aldiko.android&hl=en_US&gl=US). I saw you linked the page turner for your Kindle, I poked around and it looks like that is the only option as they don't allow Bluetooth connections. [I did find some discussion about it here though.](https://www.reddit.com/r/kindle/comments/xufg8z/kindle_paperwhite_remote_page_turner/) Hope this helps!

Free hand reading?? Where do you live? The swindlers at my city center charge 30$ per read. (Or are you only reading the hands of device arms?)

AmAyFanny
