Bookworm
I read quite a bit. To the immediate left of my desk is a bookcase crammed full of paperbacks and hardcovers of assorted genres. Mostly fiction with a dash of history and current events. And I read pretty fast, which means that every couple minutes my nurse or whoever has to turn the page for me. Nobody has ever complained about performing this minor task, but I do wish that e-books and readers had been more successful. I know I can download some titles onto my PC, but I don't want to be chained to my desk whenever I have the desire to read. I'd love someone to invest a small electronic device that has the resolution of paper and would allow me to turn pages with a simple switch interface of voice command. I've tried mechanical page-turners, but they're big, clunky, and unreliable. This theoretical "BookPad" would have to be lightweight, have a decent battery life, and preferably use an existing open-source OS to keep costs down and make it affordable for everyone. Any bored inventors want to take a stab at this?
