A handicapped person who with limited use of their hands but loves to read? Origin Instruments is shipping PageBot, the first switch-based access solution for Amazon’s popular Kindle ereader.

With PageBot, reading on the Amazon Kindle is accessible to people with motor disabilities that might result from birth defects, spinal cord injury, ALS, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, arthritis, or repetitive strain injury.
