The best Kindle accessories to give a reader in 2025

Giving a Kindle during the end-of-year holidays? If so, we’re giving you the best gift of the year. An e-reader is for both the bookworm and the techie, looking for a more portable library. The Kindle itself is a spectacular gift, but if you want to expand your gift a little further, you have several options.

Kindles are one of our favorite devices here at Mashable, so we’ve put together a list of perfect gifts for the Kindle user. These are gifts we’d actually like to receive with our Kindle, not just something that gets pushed into a corner.

Amazon gift card

To be honest, gift cards are usually a convenience gift, but in the case of a Kindle, we actually recommend it. To buy books for your Kindle, you will do it on Amazon or on the Kindle app, and in any case it is connected to your Amazon account. So, an Amazon gift card means money to fill your Kindle library.

Kindle Unlimited

Have you always dreamed of a streaming service, but for books? It’s basically Kindle Unlimited. For $11.99 per month, you get access to millions of titles and can borrow up to 20 books at a time. Current titles in the Kindle Unlimited collection include bestselling and acclaimed titles like The cleaning lady by Freida McFadden, Yellow face by RF Kuang, and The bee sting by Paul Murray. You can gift Kindle Unlimited to your recipient for six, 12, or 24 months, starting at just $65.95.

USB charging pad

Your Amazon Kindle box will include a USB-C to USB-A cord, but no charging pad is included. Adding an Anker charging pad completes the set, and this one includes both a USB-C and USB-A port so your recipient can charge multiple devices at once.

Remote control that turns pages

The latest trend in Kindle accessories is the remote page turner. When paired with a stand, you can keep your hands under the covers and protected from the cold. Kobo has released a remote control for its e-readers, but Kindle is behind schedule, so in the meantime you’ll have to go with a third-party brand. Don’t worry, we’ve tried the Datafy Remote Page Turner, and it’s a great choice for bookworms looking to get comfortable.

Tablet holder

To accompany your page-turning remote, you’ll need a stand to keep your hands free. Popular options include a floor stand or a gooseneck stand, but while lurking on the Kindle subreddit, I discovered that some people prefer a bean bag-shaped tablet stand where you can store even more goodies, like your remote page turner.

A book cover that feels like a real book

Even though most book lovers have turned to the e-reader, it’s still hard to get rid of the feeling of holding a hardcover book in your hands. To mimic this feeling, you can give them a case that looks like a book. KleverCase e-reader cases are ornamental and vintage-inspired. Some pay homage to classics like Alice in Wonderland or a tribute to Wicked with a cover inspired by the Grimoire.
