Hello,

I have some older kindles that I found for cheap in a thrift store and I would like to use them in an installation we are preparing.
For this to work as we are planning it, I 'd need to be able to control the kindle's brightness and power-on remotely.
Preferably via Bluetooth but I guess USB seems to be possible as well?
I have found Kindle Lazy ( https://github.com/llakssz/KindleLazy ) so far, but maybe there are some other ways as well?
As for the power-on, it might not work when the kindle is off but we are thinking about a mechanincally controlled magnet which would actuate the kindle magnet switch.
Thanks for all help!
