Is a page-turner the key to more comfortable reading?
Share
A simple accessory can significantly improve your reading comfort.
E-readers are designed for relaxed reading. They are lightweight, compact, have a long battery life, and are easy on the eyes – comparable to a printed page. Yet, almost every reader encounters the same problem: once you've found a comfortable reading position, operating your e-reader often becomes inconvenient.
Reading in bed means lifting your arms or constantly having to pull them out from under the covers. Reading while eating requires extra caution to avoid stains on the screen. And for people with limited dexterity or reduced motor skills, touching the screen can simply be tiring or difficult. Comfortable viewing is one thing; comfortable operation is something else entirely.
What exactly is a pageturner?
That's where a pageturner comes in. A pageturner is a compact e-reader remote control that allows you to turn pages without touching the screen. Instead of swiping or tapping, you use a physical button to browse through your eBook.
Veloura's pageturner doesn't work via Bluetooth, but through a page-turner mechanism that you attach directly to your e-reader's screen. This mechanism simulates a screen touch at precisely the right moment, making your e-reader think you're operating the screen yourself. The result: reliable, simple, and direct.
How does a pageturner without Bluetooth work?
Its operation is intentionally kept simple. The page-turner is placed on the edge of the screen, exactly where the page is normally turned. As soon as you press the button on the remote control, the mechanism activates a physical touch on the screen.
Your e-reader reacts as if you are operating the screen yourself. No wireless connection, no settings, and no apps. Just place it, use it, and read.
Minimalist design, maximum ease of use
A pageturner offers minimalist controls. The main button is for turning pages forward — logical, as this is the most frequent action while reading. Thanks to its compact size, the remote control fits comfortably in your hand, allowing you to use it effortlessly while your e-reader rests on a stand, cushion, or table.
Hands-free reading your way
The biggest advantage of a pageturner lies in the freedom it provides. You can position your e-reader exactly as is most comfortable for your eyes, without having to worry about operating it.

Small accessory, big difference
A pageturner isn't a necessity, but it's a smart addition for anyone who reads a lot. It makes reading on an e-reader an even more relaxing experience, without technical hassle or complicated settings.
For those who read eBooks daily, it's a small accessory that makes a big difference in comfort, peace, and ease of use.
