Yes, that's the main use. I do have another though related to theducks #2, and I'd be surprised if I'm the only one- I've had my share of different ereaders through the years and every single one of them can sometimes be awkward to get a finger to the page turn button/swipe when holding the ereader certain ways. For instance, I enjoy (as I used to with pbooks that would allow it too) laying my ereader basically flat on my hand to reader with all five fingers underneath it and it centred on my palm. Such as in these pics:
Is that not a normal reading position? Anyway, to allow for the thumb to press a button one must move the ereader farther out towards the fingers and angle the thumb around to the top and wherever the button is (or to swipe). The only other option is to use one's other hand. If there were a remote, one could keep the ereader in one hand and the remote in the other and not have to lift either to turn pages.
But still, the remote would mainly for when the ereader is not in one's hands such as on a stand.
