I optimized my kindle and now i can read without hands
(lemmy.world)
How do you go to the next page?
With my hand 😞
Nothing stopping you from going TRUE handsfree and using your nose or tongue to turn the page.

The hyphenated portion is probably unnecessary and less efficient in this case.
I recently was holding my ereader with one hand, and the other hand was stuck under the wife who had fallen asleep in a comfy cuddle.
Can confirm: Nose works for page turning.
My wife got a Bluetooth ring and connected it to her Kindle. It has a single button that turns the page for you.
Not technically hands free, but pretty close.
Thats SUCH a good idea!
If you wanna go extra maybe you can get a page turner remote?
You could figure out your reading speed and then build/find an auto page turner function.
Nice work though!
Speak for yourself I've always just read with my eyes.
Hey, I recognize that model of kindle! It's the same as mine, a 4th gen non-touch. Have you ever thought of jailbreaking it to use koreader? I jailbroke mine and koreader is much nicer than the stock interface. Here is a good tutorial for this particular model (in comments, by spartanheavy): https://www.reddit.com/r/kindle/comments/1ipko3u/got_myself_kindle_4th_gen/
Thanks for letting me know :) i love modding devices so i already did jailbreak it and am using duokan but am not happy with it. Ill look into that after im ready playing with my xbox 360 and aBadAvatar.
With koreader you can truly go handfree with the auto page turn feature... ^^
Couldnt let my hands off it so i installed koreader and am now truly hands free until i need to recharge.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
