Any E-Ink readers w/ integral remote page turners?

shmn · Today, 11:37 AM

Using this page turner while reading in bed along with a goose-neck tablet holder has been a wonderful upgrade for me. My arms don't get tired, I read faster and I don't have to constantly change position as I switch my E-reader from hand to hand.

Does any company make an E-reader that comes with a remote page turner? As much as I love the idea, I don't like the clunky implementation which requires a device clamped to the E-reader plus two more devices to charge and its sometimes finicky nature. Having an OEM version would be a great accessory.

I wonder why OEMs don't offer this option? Not enough demand? Or is there a model out there with an integrated remote page turner?

I love page turners!
Err, I'm not found of that clip-on stuff, I would find it massively distracting.

I used to have a wired push button box on my old Nooks.
Nowadays, Bluetooth is king.
You can get many off-the-shelf clickers or foot pedals.
I have a custom keyfob and I love it to pieces.

Minimal requirement is a single button to go forward.
Mine has forward/back/menu and flip/flop to notes.

Page turners are something I'm really curious about. Only reason why I've not bought one is that I'm scared it'd end up being a gimmick that I'd never use.

Nope, not a gimmick. Wait until winter when you can keep your hands under the covers. It also keeps the screen cleaner. It seems silly to use radio waves to transmit two feet. But it's addictive. Come over to the dark side.

Currently, I have 3 page turners kicking around from various projects involving helping people who needed assistance with using their ereaders. One physical and two Bluetooth units.

Even on the coldest nights, I don't have any issues with handholding my ereaders. Since I use my prime ereader's buttons to turn pages, I don't touch the screen that often so screen cleanliness is not really an issue for me. I also did not like the effect on battery life of having to keep Bluetooth constantly enabled.

OTOH, for those who needed the assistance, external page turners made their reading experiences a lot more enjoyable and setting them up was a good learning experience.

A stylus can also help with that.
