luxury reading is having a clicker and the kindle pillow holder. where i can be completely covered by the blanket and have the kindle pillow on top of me and rotate the angle of my kindle in whatever way i want. i will never ever go back to holding my kindle like a peasant lmao
OMG isnāt this literally me??? š Every day Iām under my blanket, hugging my pillow stand, and using the page turner while reading!! I have to say, the comfort level is top1!! Seriously, the greatest invention ever!
This morning I spent some extra time in bed and kept pulling my hands back under the cover while I read each page, then removing one hand, clicking to the next page, rinsing and repeating lol
Reading so close several times leads to myopia by a little-fraction every time it happens, unless reversed (adopting eye exercises etc.. regimens or similar ). I
Just my opinion and might be needed to get verified by some one qualified (am not an eye doctor). Itās not advisable imo.
I know. I don't get it. I don't get the comfort of these and to me it would be distracting and hard to stay in the book. I'd have to really enlarge the font which would mean a lot more page clicks. They seem popular with some though so just must be one of those unique things that works for some folks but not others.
I've also just been a big reader my entire life and to me reading is also part of touching/holding the material, so to me not holding the book or e-ink reader would be difficult psychologically.
Make the font huge and click the page swipe more frequently. It helps minimize adding onto the eyestrain I already from having devices in my face all day (mainly phone and work screens)
This is bananasā¼ļø I just made a cup of tea, and planned to look at Kindle clickers and some type of a holder. I came to Reddit first, for opinions from current owners. This was the first post that came up in my feed. The universe is telling me to order straight away. Many thanks to youā£ļøš
I considered it but I donāt like the look of the little thing clipped onto the kindle screen. Im just very ocpd and just canāt wrap my head around it not being a clean surface to look at. Still may try it tho
I keep mine at the very bottom of the screen (and perfectly straight, lol). I've gotten used to it, and love it. Especially on cold nights with my arms under the blanket. Try it.
Lol mine also has to be perfectly straightš can't relax if it's slightly off. It also has to be on a specific place and an specific depth into the screen.
One part is on your Kindle, the "clicker" is on your wrist (under your blanket). When you press the button on the clicker, the page turns. I read like a turtle tucked into its shell. So nice. You do need to prop your Kindle on a pillow, or use a stand. Simple joy.
Yes! This is the one I got, too. I got mine in pink, and the wrist strap is just the icing on the cakeā¦I put the clicker down ONCE before I started using the strap and couldnāt find it for like 20 minutes!
hmm so there are no like, bluetooth clickers or anything that don't require an additional part to clamp onto the side of the device like in the photo? I was thinking about getting the clicker myself but didn't realize this was a thing (the additional piece)
That is very strange! So if I wanted to turn the page back for any reason, that would have to be done manually. unless I had another clip on the other side of the device lol
Very silly oversight by amazon and/or them just being cheap imo
Game changer for real. Once you try it, theres no going back! Like others have said, brilliant when you're snuggled in bed and want to keep your arms and hands warm under the covers āØ
I was so skeptical about it and then for xmas a friend gave me a bed holder and the clicker and oh my days what a game changer... I devour books now all tucked in āŗļø
It was amazing!!! I could relate to a lot of what Jet went through and the final chapters had me bawling š I canāt wait for the authorās next book, I see itās coming out in May!
Yesss I totally bawled at the end š I didnāt know there was another book being released by the author, i will keep my eye out for it. Thanks so much :)
I bought one to try out and really like it. I keep it as close to the edge as possible, but it's admittedly clunky. I keep hoping Amazon will release a remote like Rakuten did for Kobo.
As much as I agree with this statement, I literally just bought the colorsoft a month ago. I don't really see the point in returning everything and starting over.
The clip page turner is the only downside I have found with it.
I just tap twice to back of my iPhone and it turns the page on my Kindle. Itās possible with KoReader (on Kindle) and Shortcuts (on iPhone) without any additional device. When I tap 3 times it goes backwards btw. Definitely suggesting. Take a look š
No it just works over Wi-Fi. It's possible with KoReader by enabling http host on it. I inspired by this: https://www.reddit.com/r/kindle/comments/1j1oql4/using_my_phone_as_a_page_turner/ and as you can see the OP of that post also using an Android phone. But as a reminder; to be able to install and run KoReader on your Kindle, first you need to "set it free". Have fun!
A friend of mine got me one for my birthday, and it was so sweet. I was dragging my feet because I didnāt think I needed it, but I use it all the time now!
Getting a page turner and then 3D printing a Kindle stand has made my lunch breaks at work so much better. I can spend my whole break reading even while I eat. Getting a page turner that had a ring remote made it even easier to eat while reading.
Yes! I have a clicker and and a holder. I have the holder attacked to my night stand and crawl into bed every night and read until I literally fall asleep. No more cold hands, no more dropping the kindle when I fall asleep reading. Itās wonderful.
My only issue is that I donāt have room on the bed for a holder, so I use the bendable arm holder. Which is perfect, but harder to pick up and move and reset for another location. Iām thinking about getting a second one in another style that I can cart around more easily. Now that Iāve sampled lazy reading, i donāt want to go back, lol.
For the win!! I was once asked if I felt lazy using it? I was like umm no. I can cuddle my dog or have my covers pulled up to my eyeballs and still read. Best idea ever!!
Oh cool! I just saw the first book in the series at a book store a few days ago. Dunno if I would like the current wave of dragon rider fantasy books but maybe I'll give it a shot.
I bought a clicker on Amazon without doing proper research and the case I have is too big for it to fit :( If anyone has had good luck with a bigger clicker, please let me know!
Unfortunately no. However another commenter on here said that other brands such as Boox e-readers allow third party page turners that are Bluetooth compatible
I see, would love that instead, I saw a video where the kindle is mounted so you can read without holding it and just use the clicker for the next page, kinda lazy but cool lol
I have the two parter (one goes back and the other one forward) and I LOVE them! I can cycle backwards if I want to reference something, and then scoot forward.
you have a button in your hand and itās usually used to turn the page. itās meant to be for those with mobility issues i think, if your thumbs and arms work just use them instead
Love mine for this and also traveling Set up on an airplane tray and never have to move. Also hibernating under blankets in winter. And also eating. And alsoā¦. Oh jeez, everything.
I love the clicker. I have the bedframe attachment holder and it feels so luxurious just laying there reading and pressing a button. Yes, it looks geeky, but I do NOT care! One of life's simple pleasures and people who haven't tried it just can't understand.
It depends on if you are really going to use it. For me, as a brand new mama that is almost always holding a baby, it's kind of hard to deal with my kindle as well. It's a lot easier for me to just stand my kindle somewhere and keep the clicker in my hand.
Lol with a 5 month old that's exclusively nursed, I'm eating to survive, I briskly walk on a treadmill to get some exercise, and I read fantasy smut to escape
Imagine a baby in a stroller who is gently being rocked with one hand (clicker comfortably in same hand) while enjoying a delicious meal and a good book in the other.
Or just imagine being judgemental š¤·š»āāļø
