Exists or needs to be invented

desktop-chrome: I use an extension that highlights every 4 or so words in chrome browser

Reading-ipad-tool: I use a page turner: press the remote button and it turns to the next page in kindle on ipad

Request: To use the extension "word skipper highlighter" with remote page turner in kindle, so I can speed read.

Goal-I set up the page turner to click on extension (highlight next word) and it bounces from top to bottom highlighting every 4th word, then turns the page and repeats.

Does anyone know how to add this to kindle? So far I have only found the solution to be using teamviewer and sending my desktop screen to my ipad, this causes the text to be super small and I would like to add an "extension" over my kindle app. Does anyone know how to make this?

There's no way to write an extension for the Kindle iPad app. It's just not possible.

You could maybe look into if that extension or similar exists for iPad Safari and try the kindle cloud reader there. Or perhaps Firefox for Android if you're willing to swing that way.

Unfortunately, as Kindle apps on iPads are generally quite closed off in terms of allowing external extensions or modifications, there isn't a direct way to install a Chrome-like extension like "word skipper highlighter" over the Kindle app itself.
