Accessories such as remote page turners, gooseneck stands, clear cases and hand grips are popular among e-reader owners looking to make reading more comfortable. The options covered here include products for Kindle, Kobo and Boox devices, though compatibility varies by accessory.
A remote page turner lets readers advance through a book without reaching for the e-reader, which can be useful when reading in bed or while using a treadmill. Amazon’s Kindle Click is compatible with Kindles released in 2024 or later. Kobo, Boox and Durobo also make page-turning remotes.
Amazon’s Page Turn Cover offers buttons built into the case to turn pages, connecting to compatible Kindles through magnetic Pogo pins. It works with the Paperwhite Signature Edition and Colorsoft Signature Edition, and costs $79.99.
For hands-free reading, a gooseneck stand can hold an e-reader within reach and reduce the need to hold it during long reading sessions. The Magipea Gooseneck Stand is one option mentioned, and can be used with Kindle or Kobo e-readers.
A clear case offers a simple way to protect a device while leaving room to personalize it with stickers, inserts or charms. Readers who want to attach and remove a PopSockets grip may prefer a MagSafe-compatible case. PopSockets also sells Kindle cases designed for its MagSafe grips.
PopSockets grips provide an ergonomic hold and can be removed when the reader wants the device to lie flat. Another option is Strapsicle, which uses straps attached to the e-reader’s corners to help secure it in the hand. Its fit can be tight when used with a case.
Page’s Kindle cases are available for a range of Kindle and Kobo models. They include an automatic wake-and-sleep feature and a hand strap. An official Amazon case is another option for basic protection; reinforced corners can help protect an e-reader from drops.
