Hi!
I found a page-turning device online called Page Flip and I was just wondering if anyone else has used or heard of this... Do you know of any other page turning devices out there?
Thanks!

- Hi, I'm afraid the link doesn't work? - I see you're a high quad, if you have any arm/finger movement, would it be possible to use an Ipad?
I'm planing on getting one, but i have arm/wrist movement..

Smile! See me:)

Try THIS one.

With all due respect, if one does not have full use of their fingers (SCIs at or below C8), how does this above device help with being independent? Someone has to load all the pages for you.

MY SISTER USES THE ERASER OF A PENCIL IN THE WRIST BRACE THAT HAS A TOOL/PENCIL/UTENSIL POCKET... IT WORKS REALLY WELL :head_brick_wall-1:

Thanks for this tip with the pencil eraser - sounds very much like a page tuner hand held tool I found on the internet a few months ago but which I could not buy because the manufacturer had stopped supplying! Will try this with my dad although I am not sure how well this will work as his hand movement is very limited.
