Just trace the membrane / printed traces of the suitable keys before disconnecting the small PCB.
I wired the strings and frets of a guitar once to a keyboard PCB after removing metal bit at the bottom and replacing it with plastic. Fun, but not very useful.
In other words, don't hold my breath on this prospect either....

I could use a third-party macro program. But it's lots easier just having the "auto page turn" control build into the e-reader program, and be able to easily increase or decrease the page-turning time. Say, five seconds per page... maybe too fast... six, seven, etc., seconds per page. Whatever.

Android has some such e-reading programs. Moon+ is quite good.

But Windows, sticking so far with Calibre.
