WIRED has tested a wide range of Kindle accessories for e-reader owners, covering everything from protective cases and customizable clear covers to straps, grips, and page-turning remotes. As new e-reader models roll out with different dimensions, buyers are advised to verify that their chosen accessories match their specific Kindle size and generation.
Protection and Cases
Protective cases and covers are essential for keeping e-readers safe from daily wear and tear. Tested primarily on 2024 models such as the 7-inch Paperwhite and Colorsoft, these items now also include options like the Kindle Page Turn Case and products from Bondi, alongside updated choices for the 2026 generation.
Grips and Ergonomic Holders
Readers looking for enhanced comfort can attach straps and grips directly to the e-reader or its case. For those experiencing chronic pain or who simply dislike holding devices for extended periods, dedicated stands and holders completely relieve hand fatigue by taking the weight entirely off the user.
The Kindle Click Remote
Kindle introduced its first official Bluetooth page-turning remote, the Kindle Click, in early October. The device replaces older third-party alternatives that previously required screen-blocking physical tappers and separate battery tracking. Backward compatible with 2024 Kindle models, the Click pairs easily through the e-reader’s Bluetooth settings.
The remote features two main buttons for moving forward and backward through pages and libraries, alongside two side buttons for adjusting screen brightness. Equipped with a wrist lanyard, the Kindle Click works seamlessly when paired with a Kindle stand for hands-free reading.
Charging, Bags, and More
Because modern Kindle boxes include only a USB-C cable rather than a charging block, users missing compatible wall chargers can invest in standalone power adapters. While standard Kindle batteries last a long time, portable power banks remain an option for frequent travelers, and specialized carrier bags and sleeves provide secure storage to prevent scratches from keys.
Readers still searching for an e-reader can consult dedicated buying guides to compare the newest releases against discounted 2024 models.
