Well, it's easy with the Kindle! Ever tried the text to speech (TTS) option? You might use it a lot, or hate the thought of it, but you can turn it into a new use. Simply turn down the volume on your Kindle (volume buttons are on the right hand side/ edge), and turn on TTS for an instant auto-turn.
> Click the Aa button on your Kindle's keypad
> Select Text to speech and select a reading speed. I have mine set to fast, but you can experiment with it.
The pages will turn on their own as you read. To turn it off again, just click the Aa button again & move to the TTS controls.
Note: some publishers do not permit the Text to Speech option. If it's disabled, the TTS option will simply be grayed out.
Before buying an ebook on Kindle, you can find out if TTS is enabled or not (listed under the price and publishers on the Amazon page).
