Yes, nonsense.
Sleeves are awkward and some give only scratch protection.
You only need a stand for either use as recipe book or for recording narration which needs onboard buttons.
Detachable hand straps have been options on pocket radios and cameras since maybe mid 1960s. IMO horrible & useless. Who even sells them for an ereader?
Reading in bed? My dad died last year nearly 91. He'd read in bed for about 85 years. You rotate the two pillows, though he'd lately been reading under the bedcloths using the Kindle front light. Though a snob for fancy editions he took to the Kindle PW3 in his 80s.
People have been reading in bed for maybe 5,000 years. Candles and rushlights are pretty awkward. I tried. You need a serious candle or oil lamp. My dad didn't live in a house with electricity till he was about seven.
