The folks over at Dexter Industries, creators of the BrickPi, have been busy at work creating a way for your Pi to read books to you. BrickPi is an add-on board which allows your Pi to communicate with LEGO Mindstorms products. The e-book reader uses the Pi’s camera module to take photographs of an e-book page then the Pi translates that into speech which it then plays back. It uses the BrickPi board to communicate with a robot arm which presses the ‘next page’ button. Quite ingenious!
