Code:
cat /tmp/input.data > /dev/event/input1
So to start the browser you have to record the home tap (that brings you to the home screen if you were elsewhere), followed by the menu tap, settings tap, beta features tap, web browser tap. Re-played in sequence (with a 1-2 second delay between them) it should get you into the browser.

I used the same technique here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=257511

The page flip is achieved by re-playing a next page tap I previously recorded...
This is very promising thanks! One small adjustment/typo to mention for others:

Code:
cat /dev/input/event1 > /tmp/input.data
