That's how YOU do it. Some people balance the Kindle (on a pillow, or on their lap if sitting up in bed, or etc.) and put both hands under the covers, which means they have to put a hand out every time they turn the page (even with physical buttons). Or when sitting on the couch under a blanket with the Kindle on the lap or on a table (something I like to do when it's cold), you have to put a hand out even with physical buttons. This device eliminates the need to put a hand out, which is convenient to me. It's also convenient as I like to read while knitting/crocheting; now I can press the page turn button with my toe, and not have to stop knitting/crocheting every time I need to turn the page. I prefer physical buttons to touch screens, but I like the Kindle Click even though I have the option of using a device with physical buttons. (Although it will not replace the device with physical buttons for me - in different situations I want different options.)

The animals and bugs don't have curtains. And one could say nighttime vehicle maintenance and repair is what a garage is for.

Besides, your eyes will start to adjust to the dark after you're in it for a few minutes, and be fully adjusted after about 30 minutes. Last month there was a horrible storm in my area, all power was out for days in my city and surrounding cities/towns, and for weeks in some neighborhoods. Mine was out for 9 days. Even though it was obviously considerably darker at night, I didn't even need a flashlight outside.
