GoKawiilAmazon Adds Kindle Click Remote and Magnetic Button Cover to New E-Readers
Amazon unveiled two new Kindle accessories: a $34.99 Bluetooth remote called Kindle Click for turning pages and adjusting brightness without touching the screen, and a $79.99 magnetic cover with physical page-turn buttons for new Signature Edition Paperwhite and Colorsoft models. Both ship Oct. 28 alongside a refreshed Kindle lineup featuring flush screens, wraparound color, optional aluminum housings, and user-replaceable batteries to meet EU rules.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The return of physical buttons, discontinued with the Kindle Oasis in 2024, suggests Amazon is responding to reader demand seen on BookTok, where fans have long used third-party clicker accessories, according to Bloomberg. The accessory-based approach lets Amazon offer tactile controls without redesigning its core hardware, while the pricing continues trends from its earlier 2024 Kindle price increases.
- Kindle Click ($34.99) is a Bluetooth page-turn remote for Kindles from 2024 or later.
- A $79.99 magnetic cover restores physical buttons, but only for new Signature Edition Paperwhite and Colorsoft models.
- New Kindles also feature flush screens, optional aluminum bodies, and user-replaceable batteries for EU compliance.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition — This is the e-reader at the center of Amazon's new physical-button push, compatible with the new magnetic cover and Kindle Click remote. It's a great way to get wireless charging and a premium reading experience while taking advantage of these new tactile accessories.
