It could also be done through WiFi, possibly using the GoPro remote controller so you'd have a hand-held, wireless device. It's a bit too expensive to just buy it on a lark. Also, it has a short battery life and keeping WiFi always on drains the Kobo rather quickly, too.

Hello frostschutz !
I read with interest your posts because I'm a lazy man who wants to read lying in his bed without having to move his arms!
Unfortunately your link to [
deleted vidme link] is no longer accessible and I'm curious to know how the hack works via the charging cable.
As I understand it, you have to modify a USB cable to add an on/off switch and the reader perceives the signal as a command to turn the page.
Should a mod (script ?) be installed on the kobo to allow it to interpret this event?
Thank you for all
