Surprise an avid e-reader with these useful gifts for Kindle readers. For someone who reads a Kindle, you should gift accessories like a protective case, adjustable stand, and/or a portable charger. You can also give an Amazon gift card for e-books, or a remote control page turner to enhance their reading experience.
Below, you’ll find my personal favorite Kindles and accessories as an avid e-reader, along with other hand-picked, crowd-pleasing ideas that make great gifts for book readers. Quickly and easily choose your special gift below!
Unique Gifts for Kindle Readers
Note: Most of the products linked below come in many colorways for you to choose from — not just the ones I selected.
Gift Card For Books or Kindle Unlimited
Give the gift of choice with a Kindle Unlimited subscription or an Amazon gift card to buy new book gifts.
New Kindle
Perhaps he or she is due for a Kindle upgrade? Or an extra? Amazon recently released new options. These are the three I recommend based on your specific needs:
- Amazon Kindle: the most compact option. Fans call it a “purse Kindle” with just a 6″ screen
- Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition: my Kindle of choice. It’s a bit larger with a 7″ screen and has double the storage.
- Amazon Kindle Scribe: The largest option with a 10.2″ screen. You can also get even more storage and write on it.
Kindle Page Turner Remote Control
A Kindle page turner may seem extraneous, but let me tell you, it is extremely useful in the cold winter months. It helps you keep your arms and hands warm under a blanket while reading. You can also use it to turn your e-reader’s pages while you are working out on a treadmill, bike, etc. I, and many other Kindle readers, adore it.
Case and Related Accessories
Protective accessories are a must for Kindle readers. You can get any number of cases on Amazon, Etsy, etc. Some (like mine pictured above, a model which is no longer available) are customizable with your recipient’s name and other details.
For this gift guide, I linked a Kindle case that’s pretty and practical — it incorporates both a stand and a strap for your hand. I use my own strap constantly, so I highly recommend getting one in some form (more options below).
Shopping Tip: Kindle sizes differ. You absolutely must be sure to check your model and get the correct size.
If your recipient’s case doesn’t incorporate a strap, try the popular Strapsicle or a Pop Socket. I find my strap to be extremely useful in holding my Kindle with one hand with ease.
A glare-free screen protector can also be useful, especially if your recipient’s case doesn’t have a front cover.
You may also want a protective sleeve to easily store your recipient’s Kindle and its accessories, especially for travel.
Lastly, add on some Kindle stickers so your gift recipient can customize his or her Kindle aesthetic.
Stands
These gooseneck stands are popular with e-readers who read in bed. You can hook it right on for hands-free reading.
Pillow stands are also popular with e-readers for comfortable reading time.
This bath caddy (the exact one I have), helps you read in a bubble bath with ease.
Shopping Tip: If you’re not sure whether a stand will be useful for your gift recipient, think about where he or she reads and whether a stand would be helpful in such a location.
Blue Light Glasses
Blue light glasses help protect your eyes from the harmful blue light emitted by our tech devices. I wear my Peepers blue light glasses all day, every day, and I notice a massive reduction in my eye strain and migraines when I do so. These specific glasses were also an Oprah’s favorite thing several years in a row.
Portable Power Bank Charger
No one likes a dead battery. A portable power bank charger helps a reader charge and read with greater ease. This one works for several types of devices.
Tech Gloves
Lastly, tech gloves may help him or her e-read more easily, depending on when and where he or she reads.
