Amazon expands its Kindle lineup with three new models, a page-turning Bluetooth remote, a charging dock, and a new cover with physical buttons.
Amazon just refreshed its Kindle lineup with three new e-readers, plus new accessories. A Bluetooth remote to flip pages costs $35 and ships Oct 28, 2026. There’s also a page-turn cover and a charging dock. The big question: will you use a remote, or stick with touchscreen page turns? Either way, the change signals Amazon’s push to make Kindles more gift-ready and customizable this holiday season.
What this means for you: more ways to read comfortably, and a potential gift option that includes a tiny, dedicated page-turning device. What happens next: if you’re curious, you can buy the Kindle Click remote starting Oct 28, 2026, and decide later if you want to pair it with one of the new Kindles.
Amazon is shaking up its Kindle lineup just in time for the holiday shopping season. The company announced three distinct Kindle styles, each available in a premium version and a Kids version. Alongside these new e-readers come a handful of accessories designed to expand how you read, including a page-turning cover and a charging dock. For the first time, Amazon is also selling a Bluetooth remote that lets you turn pages with the press of a button.
The accessories are meant to echo how readers actually use Kindles at home, on a plane, or in bed. The page-turn cover is one of the headline add-ons, while the charging dock promises a quick top-up for devices that still deliver long battery life. And the new Bluetooth remote is the surprise twist: a small device that pairs with the Kindle to flip pages forward or backward, adjust brightness, and even power the device off with a push.
Despite the novelty, some readers will question how often a remote actually helps. The accessory is designed to work with all the new Kindles and with Kindle models from 2024 and newer, offering a familiar way to navigate without touching the screen. The remote is small, includes a woven lanyard, and is priced at $35. It becomes available on October 28, 2026.
Amazon’s move into accessories mirrors a broader push toward making its e-readers more customizable and gift-ready. Competitors like Kobo already offer Bluetooth page-turners, and Amazon’s official option aims to simplify compatibility and quality control for buyers who want a dedicated page-turning solution.
For readers weighing whether to upgrade, two questions matter: Do you actually need a remote, and is the broader Kindle upgrade worth the cost? The answer depends on your reading habits. If you rarely need to flip pages with a touch, the remote could feel like an extra gadget; if you frequently read while lying down or in cramped spaces, it may offer a practical perk. Either way, the new lineup and accessories create more ways to tailor the reading experience to your daily life.
What stays the same is Kindle’s promise of long battery life and a broad reading ecosystem. The new models are designed to sit alongside existing Kindles already in households, with the added flexibility of official accessories that are clearly aimed at boosting gifts and re-ups in the holiday season.
