You might try a mouthstick to turn the pages on your book stand but that has 
pitfalls also.  A company also makes an automatic page turner but I have not 
had experience with it.  The library of congress has a program of books on 
tapes but it is antiquated as they are updating their technology and trying 
pilot programs.  My local library has started offering books that you can 
download on the Web.  Its catalog could be better but it gives me more options. 
 Check with your library.  I recently completed Shadow Divers my robertkurson 
and enjoyed it very much.  It is a true story is about a German U-boat laying 
off the coast of New Jersey.  Have you read anything good lately?  Dan T.

before I became a quadriplegic due to Transverse Myelitis.  Now I am in a 
dilemma as to how do I manage to read a book.  I have a book stand, but it is 
virtually impossible for me to turn the pages.  I have looked on the Internet 
for page turners, but I haven't found any that are suitable for my need.  This 
is really driving me crazy, especially since there are so many things I need to 
read.  I would like to know how anyone else manage to read a book.  For novels, 
I get books on tape, if they're available, but some things I need to read, do 
not come on a tape.  I would appreciate any suggestions.
