It's not exactly "hands-free," but it beats reaching out to touch/swipe the screen all the time.

I don't really think I'd like a voice-activated solution. Saying a word or phrase out loud all the time would bug me worse than reaching to touch the screen would.
For the most part I also wouldn't like a voice controlled app, but there are times when it is needed. I was hospitalized for a time and unable to bend my arms. No way to open books or turn pages. I really wanted to read on my laptop but while I could open programs, including kindle PC, I couldn't open a book without having someone come click the mouse for me.
