It's so awesome! I've had mine for more than a week now. I wrote a review for it here.

Interesting. Of course unlike a Bluetooth clicker, it only pages in one direction (but you could get 2 of them, as they point out).

It’s too bad Kindles don’t support BT keyboards or clickers (at least not without jailbreak). It would be lovely to be able to use keyboard to navigate, even with the limited options the Kindle apps support (on iOS, just page/chapter, adjust text size, set/unset bookmarks, and of course for typing notes or search terms).

There’s always the Voice View option: it will turn pages.

Mine arrived today and I played with it for a little while. It has two buttons and you can page forward and back. It's very cool and will come in handy!

Are you talking about this? If so, you can only page back if you move the device to the left side of the Kindle. The small button can be used the same as the big button, but it’s primary purpose is to to pair the remote with the clip if they get disconnected from each other.

And that gizmo only works if you don't mind such large margins. Otherwise, it sits on the screen on top of the text.

Not on a Kindle. Check out the review I wrote. There are gifs demonstrating it. You’ll see no words are covered. I have the margins set at the smallest.

I find the smallest Kindle margins to be too large and the margins I do like would not work with this gizmo as this gizmo would sit on some of the text.

Understood! But for people who are using Kindles and who aren’t modifying their experience in any way I wanted them to know that the device doesn’t cover any words on any of the three settings.

But it can through you off your reading because it's like not having any margin in that place where the gizmo is attached.

And yet, some people seem to like it. Inconceivable!

You don’t like it. That’s fine. But other people, like myself, love it. It doesn’t “throw” off my reading in the slightest.

Sorry, you are correct! I thought the smaller button was advancing backwards. Thank you!
