Amazon has unveiled the Kindle Click, a compact Bluetooth remote priced at $34.99 that lets users turn pages without touching their Kindle device. Designed to ease the reading experience in scenarios where tapping the screen is inconvenient—like lying in bed, using a treadmill, or during a flight—the Click aims to bring true hands-free page turning. The device is compatible with all Kindle models released in 2024 or later, as well as the entire line of newly redesigned Kindles.
How Amazon’s remote compares
The Kindle Click joins a crowded field. Recent rivals include Kobo’s $29.99 Remote, introduced last year, and BOOX’s wireless page turner called the Tappy, also priced around $30. Both offer similar functions—letting users move between pages without touching the screen—but tend to use physical clips or touch-adjacent mechanisms. Kindle Click connects directly via Bluetooth and doesn’t require any contact with the display.
While Amazon’s official remote costs more than those third-party options, it’s betting that Kindle owners will pay extra for a product engineered specifically for its devices. The Kindle Click arrives alongside a major update to the Kindle lineup: the new models feature sleeker designs, essentially bezel-less screens, lighter builds, and displays that turn pages about 30% faster than the prior generation.
Additional accessories and rollout
Beyond the remote, Amazon is also introducing new gear to complement its latest Kindles: a magnetic cover with physical page-turn buttons, and a charging dock stand for its Paperwhite Signature Edition and Colorsoft Signature Edition models. These accessories reflect Amazon’s push to make reading more comfortable and versatile.
The Kindle Click supports all the refreshed Kindles as well as models from 2024 onward. Prior to this, users looking for hands-free page turning typically relied on third-party solutions—many using clip-on parts that still touch the screen rather than using a wireless layer. Kindle Click changes that by enabling remote, touch-free page flips.
While the concept isn’t novel, Amazon’s official take may win over longtime Kindle users seeking higher quality, better integration, and convenience. Priced above alternatives, Kindle Click’s success will likely depend on how smooth its Bluetooth performance is and whether the additional cost feels justified for those who simply want to stop tapping the screen.
