Dear Barry,
How much is he likely to read before falling asleep! Putting paper clips
on the edge of each page and using a magnet works quite well as long as
you can hold the pages down after turning. But you can only really load
up 10-15 pages at a time.

Dear all
Has anyone come up with a simple strategy for page turning? My client
has peripheral nerve damage & thus no finger control. Gross arm
movements are fine. Automatic page turners have been rejected because
of their size - he just wants to read a paperback when he goes to bed!
I'm sure we can come up with a book holder, but its picking up a page
which is difficult.
