Amazon launches Kindle Click remote for hands-free page turning

Priced at $34.99, the new Kindle Click remote allows readers to navigate their e-books without physical screen contact. Amazon developed the Bluetooth-enabled device to assist users reading in positions where reaching the display is cumbersome, such as while exercising, traveling, or relaxing under covers.

Amazon launches Kindle Click remote for hands-free page turning

The accessory integrates directly with the latest hardware, supporting all Kindle models released from 2024 onward. This marks a departure from the reliance on third-party clip-on gadgets that physically touch the display to trigger page turns. By opting for a native wireless solution, Amazon aims to streamline the reading experience for its refreshed hardware lineup, which features displays capable of turning pages 30% faster than previous generations.

Amazon enters a niche market already occupied by competitors like Rakuten Kobo and BOOX, both of which offer similar wireless page-turning hardware for under $30. While the Kindle Click carries a premium price tag, the company is betting on the appeal of an official, seamless integration. The remote is part of a broader expansion of the Kindle ecosystem, which now includes magnetic covers with integrated buttons and specialized charging docks for the Paperwhite Signature and Colorsoft Signature editions.
