With a bit of software help, just shake it from page to page.

I actually wrote a script that did that (a long time ago), but it was only for native-mode apps (not the built-in framework ebook reader). But you cannot guarantee that the K5 boots up with accelerometer enabled in some newer firmware versions, so you would need to enable it as documented elsewhere in the forum.

I used the "waitforkey" command, which actually returns keycodes for up/down/left/right events (when the accelerometer is enabled). I sensed a quick "right then left" or "left then right" within 500 msec as "shake" events.


You could also enable a "clapper" page forward and back, using the microphone. Perhaps one clap forward, two claps back. Or whistle or toungue-clicks, or whatever...
