BOOX Wireless Page Turner Targets Touch Fatigue

BOOX has launched the Tappy, a wireless button that lets readers turn pages on e-readers without touching the screen. It connects via Bluetooth Low Energy and addresses strain from repetitive taps during long reading sessions. The pattern echoes Amazon's Kindle evolution: the company removed physical buttons years ago, then quietly restored them on premium models, suggesting tactile controls solve an ergonomic problem that touch screens alone haven't fully addressed.
