Amazon just announced a small Bluetooth remote that does one thing: turn pages on your Kindle. It's called the Kindle Click, it costs $34.99, and it's the kind of accessory that sounds ridiculous until you realize you've been propping your Kindle against a pillow with one hand while trying to tap the screen with a cold finger sticking out from under the covers.
The Click is a compact wireless remote that works with any Kindle from 2024 or later, including the newly redesigned Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite, and Kindle Colorsoft models Amazon also announced this week. It connects via Bluetooth, which means you can toss it in your bag, use it on a treadmill, or click through pages on a plane without having to reach over your tray table.
Amazon is also selling a more integrated option: a $79.99 magnetic Page-Turn Cover that snaps onto the new Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Colorsoft Signature Editions. That case uses pogo pin connectivity and has physical page-turn buttons built into the cover itself. It's a spiritual successor to the discontinued Kindle Oasis, which had physical buttons and a cult following among people who never wanted to touch a screen.
But the Click is the more versatile accessory here. It works across Amazon's entire recent lineup, from the $149.99 entry-level Kindle all the way up to the $319.99 Colorsoft Signature Edition. That broader compatibility makes it a better long-term investment, especially if you upgrade devices every few years.
The new Kindle lineup itself got thinner, lighter, and more colorful. The Paperwhite now has a 7-inch display with what Amazon claims is the highest contrast ratio yet, plus 12 weeks of battery life. The Colorsoft is essentially a color version of the Paperwhite, with improved clarity and more even lighting thanks to nitride LEDs and custom display waveforms. Both launch October 28, while the base Kindle is available now.
But the Click is what stands out. Amazon figured out that the problem with e-readers isn't the screen or the battery or the resolution. It's that sometimes you just want to turn a page without moving your hand. Thirty-five dollars for that convenience? For some people, that's exactly the upgrade they didn't know they needed.
