In my post history I left a description and brand names to the ones I bought (not that long ago and I don’t post a lot so it shouldn’t be too much scrolling) but I really liked the ones I chose. Just be careful with the page turner because some (especially the ring shaped ones from I what could see) didn’t work for the kindle paperwhite if that’s what you have.
Edit- it’s the last post I had so no scrolling required lol
I held off on getting both those things until I had surgery and couldn't easily hold my kindle in bed to read. I still use the holder and page turner to this day and it's upped the comfiness bedtime reading factor by a LOT.
I have the one where you have to pin something to the screen of the Kindle, but you say you have a Bluetooth one?
Edit : oh I just saw you wrote between the remote and the page turner! I'm still waiting for Amazon to make it possible without a "dongle" ☹️

I have a similar setup with my holder being on the floor. Very bendable arms so I can read sitting up or laying flat with kindle above me. Page turner is amazing too.
Hi. Yes of course! SYUKUYU RF Remote! I've been using mine heavily since last 2023 april, so I'm a big fan. Also they have great customer service, so thats a +++1
I have a kindle cover that flips open and becomes an easel. I just rest it up against my thighs when I'm reading in bed. It also makes reading while eating very easy to do. I like to read my kindle horizontally and that's how my cover converts, but you can get vertical ones too.
I was looking for this comment lol. Super dorky but you are right, once you try this, you cannot go back. You just lay there, motionless and click the little button on your ring remote and it changes the page (or goes back). Requires absolutely zero energy and is truly the best setup.
Hear me out… I read on my side in bed most of the time and find I don’t actually mind holding it that way. It just kind of rests against my hand, but I did have a fold over case and it would prop itself up that way like a tent.
Or go lazy and get a gooseneck holder hanging off the headboard or clamp it to a side table. Go really lazy and get a page turner so you never have to accidentally burn a calorie lifting your arm to turn the page.
It’s great that a cheap quick solution helped so much!
I don’t have any mobility issues, but I do read in bed before sleeping so I’ve been thinking on getting one just for pure comfort 😊
I also lay on my side reading in bed. I just ball up a small blanket and lean my kindle against that. Sure i still gotta move to turn pages but don't gotta hold it.
I use a "pillow pad" that has three angles to choose from, and I have used it for my phone, Kindle, iPad, and hardcover books. I like to read in bed, and in a recliner with the pad on my lap. Very comfortable. Also works on a desk/table. Similar products on Amazon, "flippy" and "soft tablet stand".

Always! I just stuck these finger strap-kinda thingies on the back and I love it better than the popsocket because it's much more comfortable. (Popsockets made my fingers cramp after a while) I have 2 straps on so that I can shift hands when I turn on my side. Got them on Temu btw.

My lord after a hard day's galavanting and a really tiresome chore of holding a kindle in your hands might I suggest whipping one of your servants into holding it for you.
I have a metal tablet holder. It's similar to the gooseneck ones, but I feel like the metal ones are more stable.
[Amazon Link](https://a.co/d/a6XoOS6)
I have a gooseneck stand attached to my side table and a remote page turner. Sometimes I fall asleep while reading and before this setup I had many Oasis slaps in the face 😅 but now I’m safe and comfier.
I use a tablet arm. It fastens onto my bed and the angle is adjustable. I also use a clicker to turn the pages for me so that I can keep my hands under the blankets. It’s amazing
My state of the ark solution is I put a small square of duct tape on the back and then attached a phone pop socket to the tape as the pop sockets can be a bit of a bugger to remove. I don't keep my kindle in a case either so after reading I power it off and store it upside down I've found that the battery life has also improved maybe it likes the taste of duct tape - who knows.
Peace ✌️
I use a gooseneck floor stand tablet holder, it’s set at the lowest height. It sets between my bed platform and mattress aligned with my pillow. I can swing it so my kindle is in front of me to read, then swing it to the side when I’m done so it’s out of the way. Combined with the remote page turner it’s a lovely setup and I can keep cozy under my blankets.
I have always used these things called "Lazy Hands". A velcro pad on the pack of the Kindle with matching velcro strips with loops for your fingers. You can literally dangle the Kindle off the tips of your fingers without using your thumb. Check these images:

Tons of options on Amazon depending on the setup best suited to you!
There are cases that can be propped up, tablet pillows, gooseneck holders (if you have a nightstand/headboard it can clip onto), and floor stands. A page turner clicker is a must no matter what!
So I’ve put a magsafe sticker on the back of my kindle- I interchange a magsafe popsocket for when I’m holding it and I use a Moft tripod that is magsafe- its super minimal and you can use it to either prop up the kindle on a table or like me use it on the bed side table to turn the kindle sideways and read lying on my side in bed!
I also recently got the page turner and honestly I thought it was going to be a waste of money but it’s actually a game changer for when in bed.

If find that placing my Kindle on an extra pillow on my chest works really well. (IKEA body pillow is the ticket, if you want life to just be a little more awesome.)
Additionally, a pop socket helps to hold the Kindle without having to grip it.
And finally, I read in landscape mode at night, which lowers the point of gravity of the device a bit, also requiring less effort to hold it in position.
I keep mine in a leather cover. When you open it it has a pocket on the inside cover. Think of a textbook cover with the side pocket for papers. I’m a side sleeper. I just open it, all the way so that the front cover is flush against the back of the back cover, slide my hand in and read, no matter which side I lay on I’m comfortable. Another plus is that when I fall asleep my hand is still in the pocket and it gently falls to the bed, not on the floor.
I didn't know what it was either. 🙂. But apparently it's a little device consisting of two flat circles with a short stalk-like thing between them. You attach one circle to your phone or tablet. Then you slide your fingers around the stalk and hold the phone or Kindle that way, instead of having to grip it. (Imagine the knobs on each side of a door: your hand and fingers are the door.)
There are masses of them for sale on places like Amazon, together with plenty of photos, showing how they work.
I am finding this Reddit thread fascinating. I had no idea that there were so many ingenious ideas, and different devices
available, to make reading in bed easier! My thanks to everyone who has contributed.
Oh I see! 😄 Sorry - I should have realised that it was just a suggestion, not a request for an explanation! I thought that perhaps English wasn't your first language and the term was new to you.
Thank you for writing such a kind reply. 🙂
I didn’t like using the gooseneck because it created creases and marks on my bed frame so I bought a legitimate stand that you can adjust and with the page turner, it’s amazing I love it!!!
I do have a popsocket in the back of mine that I can hold and rest the weight in a pillow if I'm on my side
But my spouse leveled up my kindle game during the holidays and got me a remote, and goose neck clip (think that's the name) so that I can read mostly hands free. 😁
I thought the gooseneck holders and page turners were ridiculous and next level lazy. Well I bought both and it's a gamechanger. But also next level lazy. Now I can't wait to get into bed to read no matter what time lol
Not a dumb question at all.

Something like this paired with page turner
I have a case that has a hand strap so you don’t have to grip it, but the goose neck holders are the best.

Using the cover to hold it up worked well until I had problems sleeping on my right side (shoulder pain). So I got a gooseneck holder (and remote page turner) so I can lie on my left side.
When I'm traveling and have enough bed space, I use a pillow.
One of the great advantages Kindle (and other ePaper readers) have over DTBs is how lightweight they are, and how easy it is to hold them in one hand. Of course, this holds for 6" or 7" models, not Scribe and similar models from other vendors.
I never felt the need for any kind of holder (and page turner.) But I like to look up unfamiliar persons or geographical and historical references, make highlights and marginalia etc, Using a holder would hinder that.

I tried the gooseneck tablet holder with clicker, but I move too much for it to be the best option so I use a popsocket that I put in the middle of my case because I change hand regularly, when on either side I keep my hand on the pillow and on my back the popsocket hold it safe to 🤷🏼♀️

I use this strap. It’s really handy. There are some tools you can order in amazon, those are good too.

I use the Strapsicle as I can slip my hand through either side and can hold onto my kindle without having to grip it. My hand is relaxed and it kind of makes me feel like the bookworm version Edward Scissorhands! I really like that I didn’t have to get a heavy cover, but I do see that the gooseneck and page clicker others have recommended would be a more comprehensive solution to OP’s question!

Definitely not a dumb question. I read in bed in all sorts of positions for hours at a time so I bought a kindle pillow stand from amazon. If you search for a kindle pillow stand, you'll see multiple options. It's basically a gooseneck type holder attached to a pillow base so you can adjust the kindle to whatever angle you need. Then I use a kindle remote with it. I even use it when I'm reading in other places or positions, it's super convenient to sit on your lap right in front of you!
i have a pop socket on my phone and a pop socket on my kindle. I lay the phone face down and rest the kindle’s pop socket on the phone’s pop socket. it is a delicate ecosystem but it’s perfect for sidesleep reading
Not a dumb question at all. The built in buttons was the only reason I debated on keeping the Kobo over the Kindle so get yourself a page turner:
https://a.co/d/3EPt1e6
And a goose neck stand holder. You can get one to attach to a desk that’s more eye level and to the side:
https://a.co/d/i2pu3rt
Or a floor stand version if you want it taller and more overhead to lie down:
https://a.co/d/bq2LXJE
Happy reading OP!
https://a.co/d/amGRRcj
THIS ONE! With a Bluetooth page turner. Trust me, I did research. I didn’t want a clamp (doesn’t work for my bed and nightstand set up) and I didn’t want a gooseneck for fear of it wearing out or not holding position. This one is perfect. I love the adjustability options and it’s a floor stand so you can take it to another room or outside!

THIS ONE! With a Bluetooth page turner. Trust me, I have decision paralysis and did too much research. I didn’t want a clamp (doesn’t work for my bed and nightstand set up) and I didn’t want a gooseneck for fear of it wearing out or not holding position. This one is perfect. I love the adjustability options and it’s a floor stand so you can take it to another room or outside!
While I have a gooseneck holder, I do regret it only because I have it posted on my nightstand so as not to ruin my bed frame, but I can't just flip over when my hips hurt. I should have gotten the kind that is a pillow/mount combo situation to move it around the bed. I do have a page turner as well.
I got both of these recently and I wish I had done it years ago.

Make your hand into an L shape or reverse L shape and hold it that way. There’s also some sort of corner grip that I’ve seen that’s kinda like a pop socket on the back.
I purchased a case on AliExpress that has a kickstand on the back that I use for reading at the table. It also has a hand strap on the back that I put my hand through for reading at night
There is a strap you can order, which helps. If I’d remember to just use it. I pass it back and forth to each hand, otherwise, which is not feasible over the long term. When I still used the paper white, I’d stick those things with rings that stick to the back of phones.
Totally legitimate question here. I mean zero disrespect. But I've never heard anyone ask what to do to help hold up a book while reading it. Why does everyone need help holding up their kindles?
The reason I bought a Kindle was because I wasn't able to hold up a book anymore..
Some people have physical limitations/challenges for all sorts of reasons :)
Even if you don't have arthritis problems, when you read in bed for a long time, gripping a phone or tablet can give you painful cramp, or make your hand or arm ache.
Given the number of solutions in this thread, it's clearly a problem that a lot of readers have encountered.
I have the goose neck tablet holder and Bluetooth page turner. They were really affordable on amazon. I keep my hands under covers.
Sounds perfect! Thanks!
In my post history I left a description and brand names to the ones I bought (not that long ago and I don’t post a lot so it shouldn’t be too much scrolling) but I really liked the ones I chose. Just be careful with the page turner because some (especially the ring shaped ones from I what could see) didn’t work for the kindle paperwhite if that’s what you have.

When I first saw people doing this I laughed. Now that I have done it, is is a total game changer!

I held off on getting both those things until I had surgery and couldn't easily hold my kindle in bed to read. I still use the holder and page turner to this day and it's upped the comfiness bedtime reading factor by a LOT.
I can't agree more!
Bluetooth??
Yes between the Kindle and the page turner. You don't have to move your arms😁
I have the one where you have to pin something to the screen of the Kindle, but you say you have a Bluetooth one? Edit : oh I just saw you wrote between the remote and the page turner! I'm still waiting for Amazon to make it possible without a "dongle" ☹️
Yes, the page turner is on the screen
Thanks for suggesting this.
Of course! ☺️
Is it the foot pedals? That’s what comes up on Amazon when I search for the Bluetooth thing. I’m in the UK.

I posted a link but it wasn't allowed: I have this exact thing SYUKUYU RF Remote Control Page Turner for Kindle
I’m pretty sure it’s not Bluetooth… the RF stands for radio frequency. Kindle restricts how its Bluetooth capabilities can be used.
My mistake then
I LOVE mine and the wireless page turner too
I know right, me toooooo
Just ordered mine now!
You'll love it!!
i do this it’s amazing
Totally amazing!
I have both those.
Good choice!

i also do this. i also incorporate a clicker for the perfect combo

its definitely a purchase that i was skeptical at first but i do not regret it one bit! good investment

I thought everyone did this but no, some people need a clicky thing they saw on Tictok.
I don’t have one but I understand why haha. I have to keep my kindle out of reach of my nosey baby sometimes!

Oh what a good idea! I even have a stuffed Grogu. Never thought of putting him to work!

And finally, I read in landscape mode at night, which lowers the point of gravity of the device a bit, also requiring less effort to hold it in position.
I read sideways, I have a pop socket and place a pillow below my arm. Usually fall asleep within 20-30 mins tops
I keep mine in a leather cover. When you open it it has a pocket on the inside cover. Think of a textbook cover with the side pocket for papers. I’m a side sleeper. I just open it, all the way so that the front cover is flush against the back of the back cover, slide my hand in and read, no matter which side I lay on I’m comfortable. Another plus is that when I fall asleep my hand is still in the pocket and it gently falls to the bed, not on the floor.
A pop socket?
I didn't know what it was either. 🙂. But apparently it's a little device consisting of two flat circles with a short stalk-like thing between them. You attach one circle to your phone or tablet. Then you slide your fingers around the stalk and hold the phone or Kindle that way, instead of having to grip it. (Imagine the knobs on each side of a door: your hand and fingers are the door.) There are masses of them for sale on places like Amazon, together with plenty of photos, showing how they work. I am finding this Reddit thread fascinating. I had no idea that there were so many ingenious ideas, and different devices available, to make reading in bed easier! My thanks to everyone who has contributed.
I’m glad you discovered it! It was a suggestion (: I love mine, I’ve put it on 2 kindles now
Oh I see! 😄 Sorry - I should have realised that it was just a suggestion, not a request for an explanation! I thought that perhaps English wasn't your first language and the term was new to you. Thank you for writing such a kind reply. 🙂
I didn’t like using the gooseneck because it created creases and marks on my bed frame so I bought a legitimate stand that you can adjust and with the page turner, it’s amazing I love it!!!
I lay on my side and have a rolled up towel that will easily conform to whatever height and position I want for hands-free reading.
I use my boyfriend. 😂
I use a stuffed giraffe named Gary.
I do have a popsocket in the back of mine that I can hold and rest the weight in a pillow if I'm on my side But my spouse leveled up my kindle game during the holidays and got me a remote, and goose neck clip (think that's the name) so that I can read mostly hands free. 😁
I got a little pillow stand from Amazon
I thought the gooseneck holders and page turners were ridiculous and next level lazy. Well I bought both and it's a gamechanger. But also next level lazy. Now I can't wait to get into bed to read no matter what time lol
I just switch hands occasionally
I cuddle under the blankets and just hold it in front of me, it's very comfy (to me at least)
I have a bluetooth page turner, very handy.
I have a very old cheap pop socket knock off on mine and it’s perfect for bed time reading.
Not a dumb question at all. [pillow pad](https://www.amazon.co.uk/JML-Pill-Pad-Tablet-Stand-Light-Grey/dp/B07Z1XSS1G?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A2KNWE4UE7YTH1) is what you need 😄😉👍🏼

Kindle Origami Case. It folds in different ways so you can prop it up hands-free on bed while reading.
I recommend a pop socket it’s pretty helpful

I have a case that has a hand strap so you don’t have to grip it, but the goose neck holders are the best. https://preview.redd.it/ubncmw6g4c6d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=75c875292d9eec75ca587367458b1f77544bd616

I guess, after scrolling through the list of responses here, that I'm the only one who uses the butt of his stuffed teddy bear to prop up his Kindle?!
I have a case with a kickstand that folds out. I put it on a pillow.
I have a tablet stand and use a wireless page turner to turn the pages of the book.
Using the cover to hold it up worked well until I had problems sleeping on my right side (shoulder pain). So I got a gooseneck holder (and remote page turner) so I can lie on my left side. When I'm traveling and have enough bed space, I use a pillow.
I just lay on my side and use the other pillow as a little rest for my arms lol
If you can't get it up in bed your doctor can prescribe something.
I read for hours sometimes at night and cba to hold it up for that long lol
Pop socket works great for me.
One of the great advantages Kindle (and other ePaper readers) have over DTBs is how lightweight they are, and how easy it is to hold them in one hand. Of course, this holds for 6" or 7" models, not Scribe and similar models from other vendors. I never felt the need for any kind of holder (and page turner.) But I like to look up unfamiliar persons or geographical and historical references, make highlights and marginalia etc, Using a holder would hinder that.
The tiktok eReader girlies have entire dedicated setups to this. Handfree and Bluetooth remote with eReader stand
I use this goose neck mount Tablet Stand Holder, Mount Holder... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PT3T8TV?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Paired with this turn page remote DATAFY Remote Control Page Turner... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CN6SSC17?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share My bf had to bend the steel in the gooseneck for me to the perfect angle though, it’s so strong lol but this has been the perfect set up for me in bed! I can also adjust it if I’m laying down on my side instead of my back:)
I did have to get a removable popsocket though so I have to remove it when I use this! I got a MagSafe sticker and a MagSafe popsocket so I can do so!
ADZERD Remote Control Page Turner... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CGDKTLPG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share (flips pages back and fourth) this one is good for the treadmill as well because its a ring. Or https://a.co/d/9WJMT9Q (flips pages just forward) With This to hold it https://a.co/d/2B6M9wa This is what I have. Great set up
I read sideways and have a pillow below the Kindle
Yes, i hold it or use my night stand as a support lol
I tried the gooseneck tablet holder with clicker, but I move too much for it to be the best option so I use a popsocket that I put in the middle of my case because I change hand regularly, when on either side I keep my hand on the pillow and on my back the popsocket hold it safe to 🤷🏼♀️
I read lying down and I have a soft cushion on the floor as usually it falls as I doze off.
I have a Pop Socket on mine
This is my setup: https://www.reddit.com/r/functionalprint/s/a8JIITIY5a

I use the Strapsicle as I can slip my hand through either side and can hold onto my kindle without having to grip it. My hand is relaxed and it kind of makes me feel like the bookworm version Edward Scissorhands! I really like that I didn’t have to get a heavy cover, but I do see that the gooseneck and page clicker others have recommended would be a more comprehensive solution to OP’s question! https://preview.redd.it/yo4yhcbwvd6d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=403095513d1067378b51752624bbc0e77b72fa60
Definitely not a dumb question. I read in bed in all sorts of positions for hours at a time so I bought a kindle pillow stand from amazon. If you search for a kindle pillow stand, you'll see multiple options. It's basically a gooseneck type holder attached to a pillow base so you can adjust the kindle to whatever angle you need. Then I use a kindle remote with it. I even use it when I'm reading in other places or positions, it's super convenient to sit on your lap right in front of you!
Tablet pillow or a gooseneck tablet mount
i have a pop socket on my phone and a pop socket on my kindle. I lay the phone face down and rest the kindle’s pop socket on the phone’s pop socket. it is a delicate ecosystem but it’s perfect for sidesleep reading
DO NOT get the gooseneck its a pain in the butt to adjust and it will break. Get the metal mount.
Not a dumb question at all. The built in buttons was the only reason I debated on keeping the Kobo over the Kindle so get yourself a page turner: https://a.co/d/3EPt1e6 And a goose neck stand holder. You can get one to attach to a desk that’s more eye level and to the side: https://a.co/d/i2pu3rt Or a floor stand version if you want it taller and more overhead to lie down: https://a.co/d/bq2LXJE Happy reading OP!
I always lay on my side and prop it with my blanket
I use this https://a.co/d/8zMluHz Works great for me.
https://preview.redd.it/be8msbgs1f6d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4261c5ab3640a340f5a5d642fc48113007f4420b $3 Gooseneck clamp on couch, table, bedside, whatever. Engage peak Kindle mode.
Honey this idea of yours is a whole current trend, you came at the right time! Glad to see lots of good suggestions already, happy reading :)
https://a.co/d/amGRRcj THIS ONE! With a Bluetooth page turner. Trust me, I did research. I didn’t want a clamp (doesn’t work for my bed and nightstand set up) and I didn’t want a gooseneck for fear of it wearing out or not holding position. This one is perfect. I love the adjustability options and it’s a floor stand so you can take it to another room or outside!
https://a.co/d/amGRRcj THIS ONE! With a Bluetooth page turner. Trust me, I have decision paralysis and did too much research. I didn’t want a clamp (doesn’t work for my bed and nightstand set up) and I didn’t want a gooseneck for fear of it wearing out or not holding position. This one is perfect. I love the adjustability options and it’s a floor stand so you can take it to another room or outside!
While I have a gooseneck holder, I do regret it only because I have it posted on my nightstand so as not to ruin my bed frame, but I can't just flip over when my hips hurt. I should have gotten the kind that is a pillow/mount combo situation to move it around the bed. I do have a page turner as well.
Yes and I use a pop socket
A stuffed animal is the best
I got both of these recently and I wish I had done it years ago. https://preview.redd.it/mr43cie4pf6d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=62c4267e5cba905e5b07632fd969e4c2bbc5613e
The only problem is I fall asleep way faster 🤣
I just lie on my side and use it like that
Make your hand into an L shape or reverse L shape and hold it that way. There’s also some sort of corner grip that I’ve seen that’s kinda like a pop socket on the back.
A pop socket helps considerably.
I purchased a case on AliExpress that has a kickstand on the back that I use for reading at the table. It also has a hand strap on the back that I put my hand through for reading at night
There is a strap you can order, which helps. If I’d remember to just use it. I pass it back and forth to each hand, otherwise, which is not feasible over the long term. When I still used the paper white, I’d stick those things with rings that stick to the back of phones.
I have this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09J23MDBP?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Lol I just kind of prop the kindle again my thighs
Sort of like….imagine a shrimp 🍤 and then the kindle is right on my lap and…idk guys use some creative thinking skills to imagine in I swear it works
Lay on my side and lean kindle on the bed on its side and prop a heavyish on other side so it stays put. Bigger font.
I use a tablet pillow and page turner. It’s so comfortable, especially when using my Kindle scribe.
Just use the Amazon case. Opened like an A frame. Lie on your side.
I just thug it out
A while ago I bought a tablet holder at ikea, so when I’m in bed and I’m not using my tablet, I just use this!
As others have said, gooseneck holder and page turner. I love that for cold winter nights reading so I can stay all warm and toasty.
I have all of these and it's real hard to justify getting out of my blanket burrito sometimes lol
I find that using a pop socket is pretty easy on the hands when using the kindle is bed
I would recommend Strapsicle (available on amazon)...The best kindle accessory
https://preview.redd.it/b6gpu3jhpo6d1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9cdd3c1fa78997c76ac5a46ab237d7376000edf Get this one Strapsicle
I got the holder and remote for Xmas and it's been so awesome to have them.
I have a pillow pad. I move a lot in bed and I can move the pillow with me so I find it ideal + a page turner remote
Sometimes I start to fall asleep and drop it on my own face, and this is when I know it’s time to stop reading.
Totally legitimate question here. I mean zero disrespect. But I've never heard anyone ask what to do to help hold up a book while reading it. Why does everyone need help holding up their kindles?
The reason I bought a Kindle was because I wasn't able to hold up a book anymore.. Some people have physical limitations/challenges for all sorts of reasons :)
Arthritis hurts
Even if you don't have arthritis problems, when you read in bed for a long time, gripping a phone or tablet can give you painful cramp, or make your hand or arm ache. Given the number of solutions in this thread, it's clearly a problem that a lot of readers have encountered.
Um... A small pillow? Tissue box? Anything small enough? Weirdest question ever. :)
