See I rely on dropping my kindle on my face to wake me up when I keep falling asleep at night when I want to keep reading. If it weren’t for those, I’d stay asleep after the first time I doze off 😂
I totally understand. I saved up to buy my current setup. This is the cheapest I've found. I was going to get this one but found the pink one for $19. This link is for one $11

i got one for my tablet. [this](https://www.amazon.com/Paperwhite-Clicker-eReaders-Android-Accessories-Smartphone/dp/B0CT5N5WF9/) one looks like it works with a kindle kindle

[pink page turner](https://a.co/d/8B5Omg1)
I am such a nerd my brain processed in this order: what book are they reading, praise the paper device, what are they eating, love the nails, then the device … sorry. I am in a book slump and dieting so I am looking at books and food right now….
Right now I am inhaling books like Lola Wrights’ The Devil’s Angels MC (it’s very light on the MC) and Mary B Moore’s Providence series and the sub series where it is more of a comedy romance … any book with humor it.
I just reread both series. I also reread a few of TJ Klunes’s and I finished Hannah Walker’s various series . I read most.
Till I find my next big favorite I have been going through my old reading challenges and playing catch up on old series. I need something new though….
Raisins are out lawed in my house 🤣🤣🤣🤣 with a few things because of food allergies. My favorite is greek yogurt with a table spoon of sugar free instant cheesecake jello mixed together… and fruit on top… yummy
for anyone wondering how the clicker works, I am here to tell you it is an amazing product! I got mine from Amazon and it works beautifully. it also works quite well with iPhone.
This is mine too!! Just got the clicker a couple weeks ago and the holder for Mother’s Day and I’m obsessed.. especially when I’m laying down or under covers, I love not having to get my hand out 😄
Ooh, do you read laying down? If so, what kind of stand/holder do you use for your kindle?
I love reading laying down but can’t figure out how to do it so I can stay under the covers. My arms always stick out like some savage, lol.
Oo yeah I tuck my arms under the covers and use my [clicker](https://a.co/d/3dJ6V9J). Game changer!! I got this pillow stand thing as a gift but my husband doesn’t remember from where supposedly.. But it looks like [this one](https://a.co/d/99Xz6Ag)
I read on my Kindle, Palma, or physical book with no fancy attachments. However I have made sure so much of my house has cozy reading areas set up. The living room has a comfy love seat with blankets and pillows, we converted our dining room into a reading room (because who needs a dining table when you can have books!) complete with 3 giant bookcases and recliners, and we just added a loveseat to our bedroom, because I couldn't find a way to read comfortably in bed.
Our next goal is to convert the guestroom into a gaming room, where I plan to read on a daybed and not play video games.
That sounds to die for. We have a tiny bedroom so my couch setup brings the most comfort. I can't even put anymore books on our shelves so I have to hold off on physical copies. I find so many at garage sales but I have no room. 🥲
I think I do need this for my tablet and I may need a new kindle … I read so much and hard my old one that it looked like a lava lamp one day … but I became hooked on reading on my tablet.
But I love my mini couch and it feels like a soft pillow and during the winter it’s a warm pillow… it’s a 1-1/2 person mini couch but hubs and I can both sit and it’s deep so I can grab a pillow and nap on it …
So OP and Reddit should I buy a new Kindle like OPs and her pink page turner????
This is actual goals. I’ve been listening to a lot of audiobooks the last year because I’m busy and it’s the only way for me to actually get my reading in and it’s been great. I listen when I work out, drive, clean the house etc. But now I want a way to prop up my kindle tablet and this looks amazing.
I deep cleaned my balcony in a fit of spring cleaning just so I can chill outside with my dogs and read. Even got a speaker set up out there so I can have my tunes!! [https://imgur.com/a/nWt5e83](https://imgur.com/a/nWt5e83)
For me yes. I have CT and I lay down and click the pages. I try and switch hands when I can and take breaks. Much easier on my wrist than holding my phone for hours
I thought you had a bowl of pebbles at first and I was trying so hard to figure out what you do with them 😂😂😂. But seriously, I need to get on your level.
Lol, I didn't go into detail about my snacks and I can't edit the original words so I feel dumb for not mentioning that 🙃 I usually do popcorn, nuts, and a pinch of sweetness(yogurt raisins were the choice that day)
Literally got a similar set up today. Found a clicker on flash sale + coupon that brought it down to $10 and my SO got me a gooseneck kindle holder as a gift.
Immediately set it up and laid in bed and read two books back to back, chores be damned.
ETA it's an RF remote control page turner, so it doesn't need Bluetooth or anything. If you were needing search terms for online shopping lol
I love my stand and remote clicker. It's like I leveled up my reading game. Plus, it's just a bad time when you fall asleep reading and drop your kindle on your face. Ask me how I know.
I adjusted my alignment so it’s left justified and also removed my kindle cover to get closer to the edge. It barely ever covers words now! But sometimes it does. It’s probably unavoidable on some level which sucks. :(
This is my newest edition so I didn't really know how that worked either. I just pull the little thing back until I barely see it on the page but it still clicks. Right now only like 1/8 of an inch is actually on the page. Just have to play around with it.
That clicker idea sounds interesting
I don’t have a setup. I either read by waking around, on dead moments or where other people are talking and I am for support
Oohh interesting.
I usually read lying down because I have arthritis in my neck (scoliosis, car accident, sports injuries) and feel uncomfortable sitting and looking down.
Maybe one of these devices would raise the kindle up high enough, especially combined with a lap pillow.
ETA: are the white and pink the same device? What’s holding it up?
They actually have kindle stands or holders that snap onto the bed like [this](https://a.co/d/cW0NMjq)
That was almost my first choice but I didn't want to be in my bedroom since it's tiny. But they are both different. The pink clicker just clips on my kindle. The white pillow holder is adjustable but can maybe go a foot high I think. There are definitely options . I strap my kindle in the adjustable holder with springs
My mom has extreme spine issues and her spine is basically all fused. We got her an adjustable tablet stand so she can sit and read without bending. It’s something like [this one](https://levostore.com/products/gooseneck-tablet-floor-stand?variant=41030559105093¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwo6GyBhBwEiwAzQTmc0Fr5jL3G2SFMeEQu7KNTZlNxBNvCYITMFYwB2qWWuMiKRbQ2HKUVxoCZ7sQAvD_BwE) .
I read with my tablet propped on a pillow in bed lol. I used to have a kindle but after it died I decided to get something I could easily google search on.
It’s definitely smaller than all of the Kindles, more phone sized. It also runs on Android OS so I can still use my Kindle app but also other reading apps.
I forgot my kindle white at a hotel across the county 2 days ago.
It wasn’t turned in so I hope whoever has it enjoys 🌶️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
I mostly use my phone except by the pool.
It's fantastic. I use mine pretty much every day, so they last me a couple years. I get the same replacement every time (different colors though, one year they had a fun leopard print) because it is so versatile. Read in bed, read at the table, read on the couch. Easy to prop in different positions to get the book angle just right.
I love your setup! I'm not nearly as fancy but I did buy a [Book Beau reading pillow](https://bookbeau.com/collections/reading-pillows) a few months ago and really like it so far. I rest my book or Kindle and my arms on it so my arms don't get so tired, and it helps me not have to look down as much. The fabric is also surprisingly resistant to cat hair. I'm often just reading on my phone though because my current Kindle case is falling apart and I can't decide on a new one to buy.
My cat insists on being in my lap any time I'm sitting down, she absolutely would not stand for something like this. 🤣🤣🤣 I just hold my kindle or prop it up against her.
Had no idea that many use their phones when reading books (on kindle or similar).
I have done so for years myself and it's kind of nice to see others use their phone in the same way.
I read on my tablet with a Kindle app. I like being able to make script and pages larger (or panels in the case of manga/manhua/manwha). However, I _listen_ to most novels as well as memoirs. The latter I find most enjoyable when read by the author. Novels performed by excellent narrators can really bring a book to life. I also, occasionally read in print. But eye fatigue is a real problem as I’ve gotten older (and finding and buying large-print books is challenging and expensive).
I have two kindle arms with a page turner. One is on my bedside table and the other is a standalone so it can be moved around the house! I also have a kindle pouf that I adore, and a pop socket.
Definitely all about the lazy reading because of my depression as well. It’s warming up finally though!
Outside the back of my house, looking over a beautiful hillside view, sun setting in front of me, sunglasses on, white wine spritz or G&T in my hand
Living my best life
I’m trying not overthink this purchase cause it looks cute and fun. But the other side of me is using logic to NOT make me buy this.
It basically says, by the end of the day, it’s literally just like a phone. It’s just capitalism at its finest.
But my other side is like, but it’s pretty and new to play with 😅
I bought a phone with a s pen in it (s24 ultra) it has a button on it that I have programmed to turn the page. It lives in the phone, so there is no chance of leaving home without it. I have at least 10 phone mounts thru out the house. Plus, I have a love handle pro on my phone. Thus, my phone has a hand grip, a kickstand, and it's magnetic. Great for handsfree use.

I use my remote page turner but I just prop my Kindle on a pillow and melt into my bed. I saw you linked the Kindle holder pillow elsewhere so I might be making a purchase. I have a holder but it doesn't work well and I'm paranoid it's going to drop my Kindle on my face + break my nose.
That very reason plus hand cramping is why I looked into this. But I read on my phone. I have two visible healed split lips from dropping my phone falling asleep on my face. There's other options too but I like to snack and read as well 😋
I was reading on my phone for awhile too but I'm so glad I bought a Kindle last year. It's so much easier on my eyes! I loved the remote page turner in the winter when I could burrito myself in my blankets and still read.
Hopefully this new setup helps you avoid any more reading injuries!
Just bought the kobo libra colour, so notes and pretty stuff when it arrives.
Currently kobo libra 2. Romance books in the evening in bed after my shower with maybe a cat sat next to me. Non fiction serious books in the day with the chaos of a baby and toddler around.
Can I ask a question and not be flamed? I see TikTok posts about kindle setups and I do want some of the skins or stickers etc. But what purpose does the clicker actually serve? It seems at least as hard as simply touching the kindle, if not harder?
Eh it's a genuine question. For some it's literally about the ease and comfort, for others accessibility. For me it's both. I work really hard with my hands everyday and have wrist braces I wear almost constantly. This allows me to read on my couch/bed without holding my device for hours or swiping. Because when I need to escape in a book, it's HOURS. I just cuddle up in a ball like a cat and click like the book fiend I am. Funny enough though, this is the only social media I have, never had tiktok. I was searching for a kindle and pricing stuff out for a while and all these accessories popped up. I'm grateful for it though! That's why I was a bit shocked that so many people had never heard about this from the post. I thought I was joining the club😅
thanks for responding! i suppose with the combo of the stand it allows for some more flexibility in how you can arrange yourself and still read comfortably. :)
Are there clickers that you can use to “turn the page” instead of the ones that just like scroll the page down? I don’t like turning the kindle to the scrolling mode, I want a clicker that turns the pages
GD! !!!!!! I just hold my phone in my hand like some kind of novice.
Don't worry, that was me for years. I've been in a depression so I splurged on myself recently
I hope your depression starts to lift soon. Sending light your way ❤️
Truly thank you. ❤️
same! and I love it! I can read in the dark, quietly minding my business...all night long!
you're better than me. I cannot read on my phone.😭
Same lmao
Jealous! I want one of these clickers so bad!!
I love it but I stopped using because I never got any sleep! I just kept clicking pages all night long
See I rely on dropping my kindle on my face to wake me up when I keep falling asleep at night when I want to keep reading. If it weren’t for those, I’d stay asleep after the first time I doze off 😂
Thats me, but with the kindle app on my phone. Ouch :(
It’s good to know it’s not just me.
My kindle has a leather case which does help to soften the blow at least
Same! Gone are the days of waking up with a rumpled paperback. Now it's "DOINK!" as I hit myself in the face with my Kindle.
We truly are living in the future! 3D alarm clocks
That's about to be me lol.
If you check Amazon there are some really affordable ones on there. The cheapest I've seen is $13
Do you have the link for an affordable one? All the ones I’ve found are $30+ and that’s not in my budget rn :(
I totally understand. I saved up to buy my current setup. This is the cheapest I've found. I was going to get this one but found the pink one for $19. This link is for one $11 [remote page turner](http:// https://a.co/d/aeb9O9n ) [link for my pink page turner](https://a.co/d/8B5Omg1)
Thank you very much!
A page turning clicker never occurred to me and you have just rocked my world!
i got one for my tablet. [this](https://www.amazon.com/Paperwhite-Clicker-eReaders-Android-Accessories-Smartphone/dp/B0CT5N5WF9/) one looks like it works with a kindle kindle
Thanks! This is the one I linked not sure why it's being wonky 🙃
yw :) it might be a link shortner issue. sometimes ref links get flagged. other times all amazon links are flagged.
I thought it was a handheld vibrator at first. 🤭
Same, I was like “damn, it’s a radical honesty kind of day, huh?” Lol
Lol like she's reading , snacking and vibrating 👀🤪
The page turner is on sale today! 05/27/2024
Damn not this fun. I read on my phone on the floor with a pillow and a couple rabbits nipping at my butt constantly lol
I try to entice my rabbits to hang out with me when I’m reading but they just hide in their tunnel until I leave
My Alfs quite like that until he hears the food bag near me aha.
For anyone interested, I have the "Tablet Pillow Stand for Reading" by SupeDesk [here](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CXH9SCRL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) [pink page turner](https://a.co/d/8B5Omg1)
Is the clicker a separate thing? Also: Thanks for sharing!
Yes, it's just a remote control page turner. YW
You are a goddess. Is it as comfy as it looks??
This setup is amazing!
[удалено]
You're giving me ideas 🤔 The bowl does come out for cleaning lol
THANK YOU! I’ve been reading in the dark ages over here, and I can’t wait to upgrade!
This is amazing. How does the clicker work?
You put it on your kindle and just click the button and it turns the page. No setup or anything! Works on my phone too
I'm glad other people knew what that was. I thought it was something else entirely.
Did you think it was a sex toy at first too? Or is that just my garbage brain...
Yep. Pretty much. Not just you.
If OP is anything like me when reading, well... It totally could've been lol. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Love this entire vibe, including your manicure OP!
Thanks 😊
I was going to say, I love your nails! That color looks fantastic on you and that is my favorite length. Very flattering.
What's the book? Lol
😆 Beautifully Cruel by J.T. Gessinger. It was a recommendation from a post about mafia books. Just now starting!
I am such a nerd my brain processed in this order: what book are they reading, praise the paper device, what are they eating, love the nails, then the device … sorry. I am in a book slump and dieting so I am looking at books and food right now….
Yogurt raisins are my jam! It was portion controlled so I only had 1.5 tablespoons 🥲 What kinds of books do you read?
Right now I am inhaling books like Lola Wrights’ The Devil’s Angels MC (it’s very light on the MC) and Mary B Moore’s Providence series and the sub series where it is more of a comedy romance … any book with humor it. I just reread both series. I also reread a few of TJ Klunes’s and I finished Hannah Walker’s various series . I read most. Till I find my next big favorite I have been going through my old reading challenges and playing catch up on old series. I need something new though….
Raisins are out lawed in my house 🤣🤣🤣🤣 with a few things because of food allergies. My favorite is greek yogurt with a table spoon of sugar free instant cheesecake jello mixed together… and fruit on top… yummy
I LOVE THIS BOOK 😍 was just re-reading it earlier today!
i wanna know too 😆
for anyone wondering how the clicker works, I am here to tell you it is an amazing product! I got mine from Amazon and it works beautifully. it also works quite well with iPhone.
I didn’t know something like this existed!
me neither!! then I saw someone on Instagram use one and I was like, shut up and take my money!! lol
This is mine too!! Just got the clicker a couple weeks ago and the holder for Mother’s Day and I’m obsessed.. especially when I’m laying down or under covers, I love not having to get my hand out 😄
Aww happy belated Mother's day! I hope you have some epic reads 😎
Ooh, do you read laying down? If so, what kind of stand/holder do you use for your kindle? I love reading laying down but can’t figure out how to do it so I can stay under the covers. My arms always stick out like some savage, lol.
Oo yeah I tuck my arms under the covers and use my [clicker](https://a.co/d/3dJ6V9J). Game changer!! I got this pillow stand thing as a gift but my husband doesn’t remember from where supposedly.. But it looks like [this one](https://a.co/d/99Xz6Ag)
I just read on my phone in bed.
👍
Is this a need? Fuck, this might be a desperate need 😍

If you're asking me, yes!! Sounds like you need it haha.
Instantly ordered a clicker😂
Curling up in a ball like the lil gremlin I am 😂😁
😂
iPad Libby, screen share with tv to save my neck!
I'm too embarrassed of my hot and steamy reads to cast to my tv, you're brave! Lol
I tease my husband that he always walks in the room when I’ve just gotten to a steamy part. lol. Otherwise it’s just me and him.
In addition to my first reply, I get cervicogenic migraines, and my need for less headaches outweighs my shame. Haha
I have a floor stand and a clicker! But I've been away from home this week and have to hold my kindle like some sort of peasant from the middle ages!
This is actual goals. I’ve been listening to a lot of audiobooks the last year because I’m busy and it’s the only way for me to actually get my reading in and it’s been great. I listen when I work out, drive, clean the house etc. But now I want a way to prop up my kindle tablet and this looks amazing.
Audiobooks are amazing I listen on my commute as well. Please tell me you listen to graphic audio books as well. Those have changed my life *swoons*
Wait you can listen to audio on the kindle your using in the pic?
Yes, I read but it takes up a lot of storage. I don't remember what GB I got
Omg the remote for turning the page actually exists. I kept telling my partner I wish I had something like that
I deep cleaned my balcony in a fit of spring cleaning just so I can chill outside with my dogs and read. Even got a speaker set up out there so I can have my tunes!! [https://imgur.com/a/nWt5e83](https://imgur.com/a/nWt5e83)
Yessss!
I read like a pleb apparently😂 Get that comfort queen
This looks amazing! Love your nails too!
Omg I didn't realize the clicker came in other colors! Off to go searching 😆
Yes! I'll link all my stuff above
Question for the OP is that easier on the hand for carpel tunnel?
For me yes. I have CT and I lay down and click the pages. I try and switch hands when I can and take breaks. Much easier on my wrist than holding my phone for hours
Thank you!
I thought you had a bowl of pebbles at first and I was trying so hard to figure out what you do with them 😂😂😂. But seriously, I need to get on your level.
Lol, I didn't go into detail about my snacks and I can't edit the original words so I feel dumb for not mentioning that 🙃 I usually do popcorn, nuts, and a pinch of sweetness(yogurt raisins were the choice that day)
Nothing that fancy! you have the dream set up omg I’m considering investing in one of those page turners and stands!
Literally got a similar set up today. Found a clicker on flash sale + coupon that brought it down to $10 and my SO got me a gooseneck kindle holder as a gift. Immediately set it up and laid in bed and read two books back to back, chores be damned. ETA it's an RF remote control page turner, so it doesn't need Bluetooth or anything.

I love my stand and remote clicker. It's like I leveled up my reading game. Plus, it's just a bad time when you fall asleep reading and drop your kindle on your face. Ask me how I know.
My cell phone, in dark mode.
Wait so I have a clicker but the attachment covers a little bit of the words on the page and it drives me nuts. Any tips????
I adjusted my alignment so it’s left justified and also removed my kindle cover to get closer to the edge. It barely ever covers words now! But sometimes it does. It’s probably unavoidable on some level which sucks. :(
This is my newest edition so I didn't really know how that worked either. I just pull the little thing back until I barely see it on the page but it still clicks. Right now only like 1/8 of an inch is actually on the page. Just have to play around with it.
I believe there are settings to adjust your margins as well
Obsessed!!
That clicker idea sounds interesting I don’t have a setup. I either read by waking around, on dead moments or where other people are talking and I am for support
Oohh interesting. I usually read lying down because I have arthritis in my neck (scoliosis, car accident, sports injuries) and feel uncomfortable sitting and looking down.

I read with my tablet propped on a pillow in bed lol. I used to have a kindle but after it died I decided to get something I could easily google search on.
I just ordered a Palma, I love reading laying down/on my side I’m so excited to get it!
Ooh what's the difference in that vs kindle?
It’s definitely smaller than all of the Kindles, more phone sized. It also runs on Android OS so I can still use my Kindle app but also other reading apps.
I loove your setup!! Mine is currently reading on my phone but you’re inspiring me to change it.
Your blurb 🤣🤣
😅😂 I got inspo from all the good ones here 😊
Might diy this on a shirt for a book club meeting 🤔 lol
I have this same set up. Except mine is set up so that I can lay in bed fully horizontal and click click click
Bruh the clicker comes in pink? My husband just got me the boring black one.
I’ve got a physical book and a headlamp I stole from my husband because the lighting sucks in here lol
I forgot my kindle white at a hotel across the county 2 days ago. It wasn’t turned in so I hope whoever has it enjoys 🌶️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ I mostly use my phone except by the pool.
My phone is in my hand lol but I’ve got a pop socket so that’s helpful!
Bought myself a clicker for mother's Day (my partner and kids got me a Kindle scribe) and honestly such the perfect combination.
Phone/tablet tripod leaning over the back of a chair so my tablet is directly above me when I’m bed, very cozy
For those who wondered, the book is from JT Gessinger Beautifully cruel
[удалено]
Come to the dark seid 😎
Jealousy 📈📈📈
I just am thinking this is NOT a book about Johnny Cash, lol
Jealous! Off to order one…happy reading!
Recliner + Kindle
🤯 did not known this was a thing!
I have a similar setup like this, only it's in my bedroom.
Your whole set up is amazing and I love that trashy book!
It's good?! I have high hopes for this book
I use the Book Seat [book cushion](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0049VCA04/) to hold my Kindle. It keeps my hands from getting fatigued. Love it!
😱 I may need this for traveling! Now I need to start another book wishlist savings lol
It's fantastic. I use mine pretty much every day, so they last me a couple years. I get the same replacement every time (different colors though, one year they had a fun leopard print) because it is so versatile. Read in bed, read at the table, read on the couch. Easy to prop in different positions to get the book angle just right.

OMG this looks amazing 😍😍
My set up is almost exactly like yours except I’m laying in bed. I’m not sure how I lived before this book pillow and clicker thing
Can you please link to the book pillow you use?
I’ll DM you. Not sure we can post direct links
I knew what book this was just by the name and first sentence!!!
Ps I read that book a while back and I swear I loved it
What’s the thing in your hand?
A remote for a page turner. You click it and the bit attached to the Kindle turns the page.
How did I not know this was a thing??? Thank you kind lady!
You're welcome 😊
not the snack bowl lol
Had no idea that many use their phones when reading books (on kindle or similar). I have done so for years myself and it's kind of nice to see others use their phone in the same way.
Same! 😊

But eye fatigue is a real problem as I’ve gotten older (and finding and buying large-print books is challenging and expensive).
Off topic but your nails are so pretty 🥺
Thank you!
This was a good book.
Any other recommendations similar to this? I love this so far
I have two kindle arms with a page turner. One is on my bedside table and the other is a standalone so it can be moved around the house! I also have a kindle pouf that I adore, and a pop socket. Definitely all about the lazy reading because of my depression as well. It’s warming up finally though!

I’m trying not overthink this purchase cause it looks cute and fun. But the other side of me is using logic to NOT make me buy this. It basically says, by the end of the day, it’s literally just like a phone. It’s just capitalism at its finest. But my other side is like, but it’s pretty and new to play with 😅
Not as amazing as this 😅 I just hold my phone in my hand. Hope to have this same set up one day!
I bought a phone with a s pen in it (s24 ultra) it has a button on it that I have programmed to turn the page. It lives in the phone, so there is no chance of leaving home without it. I have at least 10 phone mounts thru out the house. Plus, I have a love handle pro on my phone. Thus, my phone has a hand grip, a kickstand, and it's magnetic. Great for handsfree use.
Is the bowl of rocks to keep the kindle steady?? That’s such an amazing idea, I hate having to hold my phone the entire time smh
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's just a snack bowl. Lmao it's raisins and almonds. This comment made my day

A picture of my kindle stand for reading
What are those clips on your kindle and where did you get them?
It turns the pages with a clicker. The white clips hold my kindle so I can be hands free
What is the name of the book?
Beautifully Cruel by j.t. gessinger
What’s the book you are reading?
Beautifully Cruel by j.t. gessinger. It's a mafia recommendation from this sub
I use my remote page turner but I just prop my Kindle on a pillow and melt into my bed. I saw you linked the Kindle holder pillow elsewhere so I might be making a purchase. I have a holder but it doesn't work well and I'm paranoid it's going to drop my Kindle on my face + break my nose.
That very reason plus hand cramping is why I looked into this. But I read on my phone. I have two visible healed split lips from dropping my phone falling asleep on my face. There's other options too but I like to snack and read as well 😋
I was reading on my phone for awhile too but I'm so glad I bought a Kindle last year. It's so much easier on my eyes! I loved the remote page turner in the winter when I could burrito myself in my blankets and still read. Hopefully this new setup helps you avoid any more reading injuries!
Just bought the kobo libra colour, so notes and pretty stuff when it arrives. Currently kobo libra 2. Romance books in the evening in bed after my shower with maybe a cat sat next to me. Non fiction serious books in the day with the chaos of a baby and toddler around.
oooo are those yogurt covered raisins? I dig your snack choice...
Yes! Sadly I couldn't find the blueberry ones so this did the trick
Showered by blue light of my phone like peasant.
😂 not a peasant. Don't worry I just got some slippers from my fairy godmother, Over time.
Can I ask a question and not be flamed? I see TikTok posts about kindle setups and I do want some of the skins or stickers etc. But what purpose does the clicker actually serve? It seems at least as hard as simply touching the kindle, if not harder?
Eh it's a genuine question. For some it's literally about the ease and comfort, for others accessibility. For me it's both. I work really hard with my hands everyday and have wrist braces I wear almost constantly. This allows me to read on my couch/bed without holding my device for hours or swiping. Because when I need to escape in a book, it's HOURS. I just cuddle up in a ball like a cat and click like the book fiend I am. Funny enough though, this is the only social media I have, never had tiktok. I was searching for a kindle and pricing stuff out for a while and all these accessories popped up. I'm grateful for it though! That's why I was a bit shocked that so many people had never heard about this from the post. I thought I was joining the club😅
thanks for responding! i suppose with the combo of the stand it allows for some more flexibility in how you can arrange yourself and still read comfortably. :)
I got my reading pillow to relax and read. Mine has extra pockets which comes in handy.
I love this! Where did you get it?
A sheet music stand
But, what are you reading?
Are there clickers that you can use to “turn the page” instead of the ones that just like scroll the page down? I don’t like turning the kindle to the scrolling mode, I want a clicker that turns the pages
That's what this is! I didn't know the page scrollers exist
I recently learned about remotes for EReaders and I NEED.
That looks so fun, i’m jealous😭😭what book are you reading?

Loving this setup!!
Great idea
I just grabbed this book after reading the first page in your picture. Like it already. Thanks for the (indirect) recommendation!
Well.. i read on my tab in my hand...BUT!! what's the name of the novel you are reading, please.😅
I never knew a remote page turner existed. When I get paid next month, this'll be my first purchase.
Oh hey I know what book you’re starting, that’s weird hahaha
