Introduction 

In the age of digital reading, a new product has been released which offers a useful accessibility advantage.  For many, the page-turner may make the reading experience more enjoyable as it eliminates the need to tap or swipe on the screen, and instead, the press of a remote button will turn the pages.  This product now enables easy reading of eBooks, benefiting those who may have found turning pages on eBook apps very challenging or impossible. With just a click of a button, you can effortlessly flip through pages.  It should be noted, though, that it will only do so in one direction.  If a page-turner is positioned on the right side of the screen, the navigation direction will move forward. Conversely, if it is placed on the left side, the navigation will proceed backwards. It is also possible to use two page turners on a tablet if you need to go back and forth between the pages.
