BookTok will probably rejoice.
In addition to a comprehensive lineup of revamped e-readers unveiled today, Amazon has introduced a handful of innovative accessories designed to make the reading experience significantly more convenient and versatile. Among the most intriguing additions is the Kindle Click, a Bluetooth remote control that connects directly to compatible e-readers, allowing users to flip through pages seamlessly without needing to physically touch or hold their device. Alongside the remote, the tech giant also revealed a specialized folio case featuring physical buttons, known as the Page-Turn-Cover, as well as a dedicated wireless charging stand. Both the Page-Turn-Cover and the charging stand are designed to work exclusively with the newly launched Signature Edition Kindles that feature built-in pogo pins.
The Kindle Click is a straightforward and intuitive device. Similar to a competing remote control introduced by Kobo last year, it comes equipped with a convenient wrist strap, giving users peace of mind so they do not have to worry about accidentally dropping or losing the remote while reading in tight spaces, such as an airplane seat or a crowded commuter train. To use the accessory, readers simply pair the Click to their compatible Kindle via Bluetooth and press the corresponding buttons to advance to the next page or return to the previous one. The device boasts broad compatibility, working seamlessly with all Kindle models currently shipping as well as the entire suite of new models introduced by Amazon today.
Unlike the alternative remote control offered by Kobo, the Kindle Click features buttons that are equal in size, providing a symmetrical design for ease of use. The Kindle Click will retail for $35, placing it at a modest $5 premium compared to Kobo’s version.
The Page-Turn-Cover takes a different approach to physical navigation, catering specifically to users who prefer a traditional book-like case that integrates hardware controls. As noted, this accessory will work exclusively with the new Paperwhite and Colorsoft Signature Edition models that incorporate pogo pins on their housing. Thanks to the premium aluminum architecture of these higher-end e-readers, the case attaches securely and magnetically to the device. However, this level of specialized integration comes at a notable cost, with the Page-Turn-Cover priced at $80.
Rounding out the hardware announcements is a new wireless charging stand built specifically for the Signature Edition variants of the Paperwhite and Colorsoft. Beyond merely replenishing the e-reader’s battery via the pogo pins, the stand functions as a display dock, securely propping the device up at a comfortable viewing angle. This design creates an ideal ecosystem when combined with the Kindle Click remote, allowing users to set up their Kindle on a desk, nightstand, or table within clear view and flip through pages entirely hands-free, eliminating the need to constantly reach for or reposition the device.
All of the devices and accessories announced by Amazon are available for pre-order immediately, with the new line of reading accessories slated to begin shipping on October 28.
