Amazon’s fall Kindle refresh brought three new e-readers, metallic color options, and a batch of fresh accessories. Amid the flashier releases, the Kindle Click stands out as the most sensible purchase. At $35, this Bluetooth page-turner remote is the Kindle accessory worth buying, provided you own a compatible model.
What the Kindle Click Does
The Kindle Click is Amazon’s first Bluetooth page-turner built for Kindles. It pairs with the two most recent Kindle generations, covering 2024 and 2026 models. The device is a lightweight handheld remote with two large front buttons for page turns and two smaller buttons along its right ridge for brightness adjustment. Brightness control proved more handy than expected, a welcome extra at this price.
Charging is handled through USB-C, and a small wrist strap is included so the remote won’t drop if you loosen your grip. Amazon does not list a specific battery figure beyond saying it lasts for weeks.
A Better Option Than Third-Party Remotes
Plenty of Kindle owners have relied on third-party page-turning remotes, but those designs tend to be awkward. Many use a clip that attaches to the screen and blocks part of the display, plus a separate remote, with each piece needing its own charge. The Kindle Click replaces that clutter with a single device. It costs a little more than some aftermarket options but performs far better.
One quirk takes getting used to: the upper button moves the page down, while the lower button moves it back up. It makes sense once you think it through, but the visual layout can be confusing at first.
Who It Helps Most
A page-turner remote is a practical accessibility tool for readers who cannot comfortably hold a Kindle and tap the screen repeatedly. It also suits anyone who has dealt with wrist strain or simply wants a more comfortable reading setup. Since holding both the Kindle and the remote at once is impractical, the Click pairs best with a Kindle holder or a repurposed tablet holder.
How It Compares on Price
The Kindle Click costs nearly half as much as Amazon’s new Kindle page-turn cover, which runs $80. That cover also requires one of the new Kindle Signature Editions, which start at $250. Buying a new e-reader just to get physical page-turn buttons therefore means spending $330. At that point, a Kobo Libra Colour at $258, which has built-in page-turn buttons, saves roughly $75. Pairing the button case with the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition pushes the total to $400.
The Click avoids that problem because it works with any Kindle from 2024 onward. Readers with older models would still need to upgrade, and Black Friday may be the moment to watch for discounts. The newest models are unlikely to be reduced yet, but the 2024 Kindle should be, and it remains a strong choice.
Availability and Gift Appeal
The Kindle Click launched last week and shipping already takes a few weeks, so holiday shoppers should order early. For yourself or a book lover on your list, it is an affordable and genuinely useful gadget.
