After someone sets the book up, that person can read without touching the screen.
The webpage mentioned being able to turn pages in ebooks read on tablets and how the device was for both musicians and people with disabilities. There also a device there called the "PageFlip Lite" which is a mechanical page turner for traditional paper books. It's also described as being for musicians and people with disabilities, but while I can envision it perhaps working well for musicians, it looks to me as if all the steps needed to set it up negate its benefit for those who suffer any physical infirmities.
