Discovery of page turner functionality (with brightness controls) for Kindle apps

I wanted to let people know that I discovered that my SemiPremium also can turn pages for the Kindle apps. It is plug and play for iOS and Android, and does not require any additional clip or access. I can imagine that if a primary device is used as a e-book reader and a clip has to be mounted daily to achieve this, that the pure Bluetooth remote control solution may be preferred to avoid both the storage of the clip in-between sessions, and mounting and removing it every time it is to be used.

It is done through HID and connects as a normal Bluetooth device, both compatible with Android and iOS. It does not register as a keyboard, so the on screen keyboard is preserved while being connected on iOS and without additional settings on Android.

The product is a remote media controller primarily for skipping ads in podcasts and YouTube during bedtime use, and also has all the other media controls. Essentially, it has the same function as a page turner which is to keep the viewing device at a distance while being able to operate it. The same goes for podcasts and streaming services, where ads can be skipped at a distance with closed eyes and without moving or touching the viewing device (or be exposed to light from it).

I'm uploading some demo videos showcasing the functionality of the product these days, and I just finished development.

Here is a short and to the point Android Kindle videodemo:

Is this problem solved through existing solutions, or is there room for improvement where a solution like SemiPremium may be superior to the existing solutions?
