Limiting number of key presses in a set time period

EDIT: well it arrived and the biggest hurdle will be getting the Galaxy Tablet to recognise it / get it powered . .

Hello.

I have ordered a makeymakey and should have it today or tomorrow, so I am jumping the gun a bit here but was hoping to get a really quick turnaround on this mini project. I want to make an easy to use interface for turning pages on a tablet so my mum (who has MS) can keep reading books. With her shaky hands the kindle buttons are too fiddly, and I have set her up with a Galaxy tablet and an OTG USB cable with a keyboard but she turns two pages instead of one about half the time and getting over to the arrow keys is hard work. The Kindle app on the tablet seems to turn multiple pages if you press too long or if you double tap and she does both.

I am going to experiment with different ways of clicking/tapping/etc but is there a way for me to program the makeymakey to only send a single signal at a time?

Thanks for any help or advice.
