Kindles are the darling of BookTok, where you can scroll through thousands of videos about the best accessories and gadgets to maximize your reading experience. One thing about Booktok Girlies: they’re right. While I’ve spent hours watching videos of people sprucing up their Kindle with remotes and popsockets, I never really understood the extras until I tried them out.

You may set your eyes on a gooseneck stand or a page turner remote—I once did—but you’re missing out on a life of luxury.

And keep in mind that while Kindles are the most popular e-readers, there’s a lot of love for Kobo e-readers here at Booktok and here at Mashable. After all, the Kobo Clara Color is our favorite e-reader. All of the accessories here aren’t exclusive to Kindles—you can use them with a variety of other e-readers, too.

Ready to maximize your reading time? Here are the best Kindle accessories.

Remote page Turner

The Remote Turner was one of the first Kindle-adjacent gadgets to cross my path. It plugs into the side of the Kindle, and then you press a button on the remote to turn the page, rather than tapping or swiping the screen. Touching the screen is easy enough, but the page turner is an extra layer of convenience.

At the end of the night, when you want to cozy up in bed, tucked under the covers to stay warm, the remote lets you do just that. Combined with the Gooseneck stand? Your fall reading is about to be the coziest it’s ever been.

And while a page turner is great for getting cozy, it’s also perfect for when you’re using your Kindle while on the treadmill.

Gooseneck stand

While the remote page turner helps you click on a book to go truly hands-free, you also need to secure the e-reader. Enter the Gooseneck Stand. After seeing this viral video , I and the rest of the internet were influenced to get a plug-in stand for my e-reader.

And let me tell you, having this stand is a luxury. While the Kindle is still lightweight, when you’re on a reading marathon, your hand inevitably gets tired from holding the device. But with the Goosebumps Stand, the Kindle is placed within reading distance without any arm fatigue.

To test the Gooseneck stand, I tried the Magipea Gooseneck Stand, which is compatible with either a Kindle or a Kobo E-reader (I use it with both). I find the curved arm of this stand to be a bit too stiff, but overall it still works well.

Clear case

There are plenty of Kindle cases out there, but the most popular option among BookTok is the plain, clear case. Sure, it looks boring, but the exciting part about a clear case is the ability to decorate and dress it up to your heart’s desire. Some people even buy inserts to swap out over time.

And if you’re interested in using the PopSockets grip with your Kindle, I recommend getting a matching case so you can take it on and off. Popsockets recently dropped its first Kindle case, which also happens to have Magsafe.

Magsafe popsocket

PopSockets are already the best ergonomic grip for your phone, so why wouldn’t they be the best grip for another handheld device? When I’m not using my Kindle with the Gooseneck Stand, I like to use it with a popSockets grip for an ergonomic hold.

With a traditional popsocket grip, you attach it to your device with adhesive, but that means once it’s on, it’s on. But with the Magsafe Popsocket grip, you can attach and reattach the grip, depending on whether you want your Kindle to lie flat or not.

I personally use the popSockets Magsafe kick-out stand with my Kindle because that’s what I use for my phone and I like that I can prop it up to stand vertically. However, Popsockets just launched a line of Bookish Magsafe grips to go with its line of Kindle cases.

Straps straps

If popsockets aren’t really your thing, then Strapsicle makes a nice alternative. Strapsicle straps attach to the corners of your e-reader in a criss-cross pattern. Your hand then slides through the straps, easily holding your e-reader. While I personally prefer the grippy feel of popsockets, Strapsicles allow your hand to lie flat so it doesn’t pinch from being held. Strapsicles work best when they have a tight fit, so using them with a case can be a bit of a hassle.

Just slip your hand between the straps for an easy hold.

Kindle Fire Cases

Before I delved into the world of Kindle accessories, I really just wanted a good case. After a few well-placed Instagram ads, I landed on Case From Page. Not only do they have a ton of really nice designs, but they also make cases for a variety of e-readers, including the full Kindle and Kobo lineup.

The case automatically wakes and sleeps your e-reader, and it includes a wrist strap for a nice grip while reading. I also like this case because it protects the poorly placed power button on the e-reader. That way, you don’t accidentally press the button while reading on the treadmill.
