PageBot Media Page
The Amazon Kindle is one of the most popular ebook readers on the market. While thin and portable, the navigation buttons on the Kindle are often inacessible for people with motor disabilities.
PageBot enables people who struggle with finger, hand and/or motor challenges to read independently on the Kindle. Designed for adaptability, PageBot combines actuators for the Kindle's Next Page and Previous Page buttons, a contoured frame for securely holding the Kindle, and a universal mounting arm that can position the Kindle for convenient reading. PageBot's switch interface accepts Next Page and Previous Page commands from one or two adaptive switches, or a wired or wireless USB mouse device.
PageBot is powered by the power adapter that ships with the Kindle or from an optional USB battery pack.
For more PageBot information, specifications and manuals please refer to our PageBot page.
PRESS RELEASE: Origin Instruments Announces Switch-Based Accessibility for Amazon's Kindle DX, Kindle 2 and Kindle 3.
