Amazon has expanded its reading catalog with an accessory designed for those who don't want to break their posture every time they finish a page. It's called Kindle Click and is a wireless remote that communicates via Bluetooth with the e-reader, allowing users to advance or go back without touching the screen. The device is sold separately and is being released alongside a refreshed Kindle lineup.
The proposal isn't meant to replace the e-reader or change how you organize your library. Its goal is to solve a specific problem: turning pages when your Kindle is lying on a table, in bed, or out of reach. Compatibility begins with 2024 models , so it won't work with earlier devices.
What is Kindle Click and how does it work?
The remote is compact and connects via Bluetooth. It allows you to choose which button moves forward and which moves backward, something that can be configured to suit individual preferences. It doesn't require touching the screen or placing clips on the reader, as was the case with some third-party accessories.
The side features controls for adjusting the brightness. These side buttons are designed to allow you to adjust the light without having to lift the device. It recharges via USB-C, a convenient feature for those who already have that type of cable at home.
The accessory includes a wrist strap. The strap helps prevent loss when reading while standing, moving, or in places where the remote might slip. Amazon presents it as a lightweight accessory, not as a device with advanced reading features.
In the US market, it has been announced for $34,99; in Spain, the price referenced in published reports is €34,99. The currency difference does not imply two different products , but rather adjustments to the market. The controller is part of the brand's new official accessories.
Compatibility: models from 2024 onwards and limits
Kindle Click works with the readers introduced in the new family and with Kindle models released from 2024 onwards. That time limit is key because it leaves out previous generations that many users still have in use.
The company does not guarantee compatibility with devices released before 2024. Specifications and warnings published by tech media emphasize that the controller is not designed for older models. Before purchasing, it's advisable to check the device's year to avoid any issues.
The cover with physical buttons follows a different logic. It's not enough to have a Kindle from 2024 or later: it's only designed for the Signature editions of the Paperwhite and Colorsoft. That's why Amazon offers two solutions that, at first glance, seem similar: an external remote and a cover with an integrated page turner.
Use cases and practical details
The remote control was introduced for situations where stretching your arm is awkward. Reading under the covers, using a Kindle on a treadmill, or leaving it on an airplane tray table are some examples mentioned. The idea is to avoid breaking your posture just to turn the page.
It can also be useful for people with reduced mobility or for those who prefer to keep the reader supported on a stand. Since it doesn't require contact with the screen , it reduces the need to constantly hold the device. It's a simple accessory, but it addresses a gesture that is repeated many times during long reading sessions.
The battery is rechargeable and powered via USB-C. Using this port makes it easy to recharge with standard cables, although it's not an accessory with a screen or complex menus. It does include a wrist strap, designed to prevent the controller from falling off when used outdoors.
The main buttons allow you to move forward and backward. The brightness is controlled on the sides. The configuration is customizable , allowing the user to decide which button performs each function. It's not a remote with a screen or complex menus.
Price in Spain and comparison with other markets
In Spain, the Kindle Click is priced at €34,99. It's an accessory sold separately from the e-readers, so it's not included with the Kindle, Paperwhite, or Colorsoft. The new family of e-readers starts at €154,99 for the basic model.
In the United States, the advertised price is $34,99. Kobo sells its Kobo Remote for $29,99, while BOOX sells the Tappy for a similar price. Amazon's remote costs about five dollars more than those alternatives, although it's designed specifically for the compatible Kindle line.
That price difference alone doesn't determine which is better. Kobo and BOOX accessories are tied to their own e-readers, while Kindle Click aims to fit into the Amazon ecosystem. The company's strategy is to offer an official option for those who already own a Kindle from 2024 or later.
Accessories that accompany the controller
Alongside the remote, Amazon has introduced a magnetic cover with physical page-turn buttons. It costs €79,99 in Spain and is only compatible with the Paperwhite Signature Edition and the Colorsoft Signature Edition. It attaches via magnets and contacts on the back and does not rely on the reader's Bluetooth.
The charging cradle sells for €54,99. It holds both Signature models upright and uses contacts on the back. It's not a universal cradle for the entire range, but rather a specific accessory for these editions.
Kindle cases for other models start at €54,99. Amazon offers them in various finishes and colors to match the devices. The goal is to unify the exterior appearance and protect the reader without adding too much bulk.
These accessories accompany the redesigned readers. The company has changed the screen's construction so that it sits flush with the frame and has extended the casing color from the front to the back. The result is a more uniform design than in previous generations.
The new Kindle family, in a few key points
The basic Kindle retains the 6-inch screen, offers 16GB of storage, and boasts up to six weeks of battery life. Amazon says it opens books 30% faster than before. Its price in Spain is €154,99 , with an aluminum variant and 32GB of storage available for €194,99.
The Paperwhite is thinner and lighter, water-resistant, and features adjustable warm lighting. It boasts a claimed battery life of up to twelve weeks. It starts at €209,99 with 16GB of storage , while the Signature Edition goes up to €259,99 and adds an aluminum finish, 32GB of storage, and extra features.
The Colorsoft is designed for those who read comics, guides, or graphic novels. Its screen aims for a color similar to paper, with less glare than a tablet. The 16GB model costs €299,99 , while the Signature Edition, with 32GB and an aluminum casing, goes up to €329,99.
All three readers have children's versions, with specially designed cases and a twelve-month subscription to Amazon Kids+. The range is rounded out with colors like ube purple, alpine blue, aqua green, graphite, and burgundy , which now cover the entire body of the device.
Availability and reservations
In Spain, the new Kindle family is now available for pre-order. Prices start at €154,99 , and accessories are sold separately. The available information does not specify a release date for the Kindle Click in the Spanish market.
In the United States, several media outlets are reporting the release of the new readers on October 28th. The controller has been announced to accompany this generation , although dates may vary depending on the country and model. Reservations and availability depend on each market.
For those who already own a Kindle, the decision depends on the device's year. If it's from 2024 or later, the remote can add remote page turning. If it's older, Kindle Click isn't on the compatibility list , and you'd have to find other solutions or buy a new Kindle.
The launch of Kindle Click fits into a broader refresh of Amazon's e-readers. The accessory costs €34,99 in Spain, works via Bluetooth with models from 2024 onwards, and allows users to turn pages without touching the screen. Its price is higher than alternatives like the Kobo Remote or BOOX Tappy, but it offers official integration with the new Kindle family. The cover with buttons and the charging cradle complete an ecosystem designed for reading with fewer interruptions, although each accessory has different compatibility and pricing.
