I just can't see that as a feature I would have any use for. I would much rather have real folders and turn the pages the old fashioned way, with my finger. 
But that's just me. |
Yeah, it's just you!
I don't get it, of course we all see things differently, that is a given, and if you were serious, and like the old fashioned way, read a paper book, RIGHT?! That is the old fashioned way!
Come on , some people have fingers that are in pain, (some of our members do complain about wrist and hand pain and find turning the pages on this device hard for long periods of time), or like to lay the ereader on table while they are eatting and can read a few pages with this interval method. In bookstore when reading, I like to lay 505 in lap and read a page and then look around and relax and then read another page, so internal turning would pace me and allow me to remember to LOOK at the WORLD too!
It would have to have auto off feature after 10 or 50 or 100 pages, maybe something we could set.
Just because you find it a foolish idea , doesn't mean everyone would. Also feature could be useful at gym while on running machine or other equipment, frees up your hands. I would not use feature all the time, but under certain situations.
Also, speed readers that read fast could use this feature, turning the page every 1 or 2 seconds is a pain when you are doing it 2,000 times over an hour or two every few seconds and some of our members complain about that with 505. Slow readers who like to linger could use it as they are going to sleep in bed.
Gee, funny how when a nice IDEA gets made, it is first ridiculed , then accepted, and finally everybody says , of course we need this "feature".
I'm sure you were one of the people when you heard about ereaders said, "why an ebook reader, why not read books the old fashioned way".
Maybe have the volume control on 505 be the button that turns the feature on and off or adjusting the speed of page turns , up would make the pages turn faster and down would make the pages turn very slowly or if it was all the way down it would turn the feature off, so volume could turn on and adjust speed of page turning, and the regular foward button would advance the page the regular way if we are done before the interval finishes. I don't know what is possible? But for me it could be useful feature.
