I am a fan of anything that makes reading more accessible.
My mother, who is not a reader, had a massive stroke a few years back and would not be able to hold a device now if she wanted to. But she could press a button were she to have a remote wedged into her hand.
And, of course, less dramatic than a stroke, people here have been talking for years about having joint or other degenerative issues that prevent them from holding physical books anymore. I assume that a remote would ease discomfort even for those only using the lightest of e-readers if it allowed them to put the book on a stand or table and only need to press a button.
