It's struck me that the same thing should be possible using an android tablet, more suitable for reading; in this case all that would be needed are voice commands to 'tap right' or 'tap left' to either advance a page or go to a previous page. I don't seem to be able to find a background android app for this purpose. Basically I'm looking for a voicebot for android screen taps. Anyone?

I've found two more ebook readers with keyboard control: Ice Cream eBook Reader, and SumatraPDR reader. Either would server the purpose, along with Calibre.

We'll investigate further and keep you posted

I have a son who due to various brain tumors has lost the use of his hands etc. What I would like to do is have an ebook reader like Calibre controlled by his voice, mainly open a book from a list and turn pages, either forward or backward, and possible open and close the program. I know that this will require programming of some sort, and any help you can supple would be greatly appreciated.
