Amazon’s new Kindle accessories are a must-buy for die-hard fans

Seven accessories, three materials, one very specific pick.

Amazon didn’t just redesign its Kindles this year. It released an entire accessory ecosystem to go with them. 

Today, the company announced a lineup of new covers (including one with physical page-turn buttons), a brand-new page-turning remote, and a charging stand.

What do the Kindle Click and charging stand actually do?

Kindle Click, at $34.99, is a small Bluetooth-based remote for turning pages without touching the device for times or situations when the device isn’t within arm’s reach. Your Kindle could either be on your nightstand or on your dinner table, farther away from your plate.

Side buttons control brightness and sleep, which, yet again, are two very useful controls. The remote charges via USB-C, lasts for weeks between charges, and includes a wrist lanyard so that you don’t drop it as you doze off to sleep. 

It works with any Kindle released from 2024 onward, so it’s not locked to the new lineup. 

The $59.99 Charging Stand, on the other hand, is built only for the Paperwhite and Colorsoft Signature Editions. It uses magnetic attachment to hold your Kindle at a 60-degree angle while charging it at 7.5W, on an aluminum base. 

It also includes a 20W adapter and cable. For now, it’s available for pre-order. 

What makes the new Page Turn cover worth calling out?

The $79.99 Page Turn Cover is exclusive to the Paperwhite and Colorsoft Signature Editions. 

It features clickable page-turn buttons to the right of the screen that turn directly to the cover. You can choose which button turns forward or back from Kindle’s settings. The whole thing is IPX8 water-safe to match the Kindle underneath. 

The $39.99 Kindle Fabric Cover and $44.99 Paperwhite and Colorsoft Cover both come in textured knit fabric, folding open and closed like a book with a magnetic closure. 

Step up to the $49.99 Kindle 32GB Slim Cover and $69.99 Paperwhite and Colorsoft Signature Edition Slim Cover, and the design changes entirely. Both of them attach magnetically to the back of the e-readers.

Apple is reportedly planning to launch a new slate of devices late in October, and this event will focus on Macs, it seems. Earlier today, Apple confirmed that a smart home-focused event is lined up for October 13, which leaves the doors open for another busy event where the company is expected to launch a highly anticipated MacBook Pro overhaul with the touch-sensitive OLED screen, a new iPad, and more computing gear.

“The product launch is scheduled on or around Tuesday, Oct. 27, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The end-of-month announcements will also include versions of the 14-inch MacBook Pro and iMac with M6 chips,” says the report.

Amazon is doing with Android tablets what Apple still won’t do with the iPad
Amazon's new tablets have an idea that other Androids should copy

I did not expect Amazon to be the company that made me reconsider what an Android tablet should actually be. The company's Fire tablets have been quite the opposite of what you'd expect from an Android experience. Despite running on the Android OS, they ran a fork of Android, which pushed users toward Amazon’s own apps and services, and famously shipped without the Google Play Store.

That's not to say they were entirely terrible. In our review of the Fire Max 11, we praised it for its hardware package and overall value. Though its sparse app selection was also one of the biggest things holding it back. Installing Google Play yourself made the tablet dramatically more useful.
