    How do you go to the next page?

        Nothing stopping you from going TRUE handsfree and using your nose or tongue to turn the page.

          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.

              The hyphenated portion is probably unnecessary and less efficient in this case.

        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.

        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!

    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/

        With koreader you can truly go handfree with the auto page turn feature… ^^
