OK, so here's what I need and why...

I have taken to reading on the Iliad while eating.
This became very comfortable once I started propping up the Iliad on an easel or easel-like contraption (whatever's handy, Legos, stacks of books...) in order to achieve a nice viewing angle.

Here's the problem, though - to turn the page, I need to put down either the fork or the knife. Also, using the flipbar shifts the propped-up Iliad a little bit to the left, so after a couple of turns, I need to readjust the easel's position.

It seems what I need is some kind of remote control - either the old-fashioned kind where I push a button, or maybe something more sophisticated, like a foot pedal or The Clapper or those whistle-things for keychains ...

Who's gonna step in and make this little item for me?
