Neat idea actually, if I had a treadmill

You bought the same presenter I have? Cool, then you won't even need to touch the json file.
Either way, 99% of these presenter controllers will send page up, page down, or left right etc, so either way you shouldn't need to edit the json config file.
Oh yeah I guess I should have made it clearer for people:
You will need something like this -

(none of these links are affiliate links or my items haha, so feel feel to buy/not buy, I don't care)
It will let you plug a mouse/usb drive/keyboard into your (recent version of) android phone, stuff like that.
Naturally we need it for the kindle because the kindle doesn't have the big 'normal' usb port, only the micro one.
I would love to modify the little usb dongle and replace the usb connector with a micro usb connector... but I think I'd end up breaking it.
Similarly, putting it inside the device permanently would be cool, but we would probably need to install a usb hub also if we want to keep the usb port useable, also I doubt there's enough room.
