   Not disparaging it, sincerely curious as I see it mentioned in this thread a couple of times... why would you need a blutooth remote for a kindle?

      It's nice having a physical button, touchscreen isn't as ergo or reliable

         Absolutely but buttons on the device itself are far more useful than this.

      Some people read music on an ebook display -- having a foot pedal to advance the page while your playing is a relatively common thing.

      My wife, and nearly all of her friends have one. They setup the kindle with a mount and lay back on the bed or couch.

      Treadmill is a big one. Or under covers in bed with the Kindle propped up or mounted.

      Touch screens are tricky for some people with motor control issues.
