Amazon introduces Kindle Click, a $35 remote for turning pages

The compact Bluetooth remote is designed to let readers turn pages without touching their Kindle.

Amazon unveiled the Kindle Click, a $35 remote control that enables readers to turn pages on their e-readers without physical contact. Alongside an array of newly redesigned Kindle models, the remote was introduced to address the inconvenience of constantly touching the screen to navigate through pages. Designed for situations where reaching for the device is impractical, such as reading in bed or during a flight, the compact Bluetooth remote is intended for enhanced user convenience.

Compatible with all recent Kindle devices, including those released in 2024, the Kindle Click offers a seamless page-turning experience. While priced higher than competing accessories like the Kobo Remote and BOOX Tappy, Amazon aims to provide an official solution tailored to its latest Kindle lineup. The new Kindle models boast a 30% faster display, contributing to an improved reading experience.

Additionally, Amazon announced other accessories, such as a magnetic cover with physical page-turn buttons and a charging dock stand for specific Kindle editions.
