I can't believe I'm not the only one who's thought about this!! Putting my kindle on the table in front of me and flipping pages with a clicker in my hand would be such a great experience. I used to do this when reading on my phone by using the volume rockers on some old wired earbuds and it was great.
It's not even about accessibility for me, although that's probably the better way to sell it. It's also about comfort. Holding the device in one hand isn't very comfortable and already makes it hard to flip pages. Holding it like a book works, but since it's smaller it's even more uncomfortable and in general holding your arms in isn't a particularly ergonomic position. Putting it down on a table or pillow in front of me works great, until I have to flip the page, meaning I probably need to get me arm out from under a blanket if it's cold and either way it's annoying, takes enough time to break the flow of reading and is likely to jostle whatever surface I've placed the reader on, so I then have to adjust it back.
To be clear, this is a 1000% first-world problem for me. If you treat the reader like a book, the experience will be just as good as a book. But I don't just want a book, or even many books in one. I want something even better.
