Best accessories for Amazon Kindle eBook readers, from remote page-turners to stands

Lately, there’s a distinctly cool breeze swirling around the United Kingdom threatening to force the population’s bookworms into premature hibernation.

Curiously introverted creatures who favour the company of fictional characters, book lovers have been known to respond extremely well to untimely weather changes and will jump at the chance to remain indoors for the coming seasons.

While cooler summers and grey Septembers shorten the hibernation preparation period, human evolution has resulted in the creation of the wondrous Amazon Prime. Bibliophiles have benefitted greatly from this invention and are able to consistently keep their stock of cosy accessories, artisanal tea blends and LED reading lights replenished as a result – without ever having to leave their homes.

In this Era of Amazon, bookworms have split off into migratory groups. Though some prefer the comforts of physical, bound literature, others have joined what is being referred to as the Cult of Kindle. The electronic reading device is capable of housing hundreds upon thousands of books, forming a sprawling digital library that ancient bookworms of ‘ole would be green with envy over.

In order to get the most out of a Kindle, bookworms have been taking to TikTok to share the best tips, tricks and accessories for a truly relaxing autumn/winter hibernation spent reading dark academia, fantasy, romance and historical fiction novels.

Designed to make the electronic reading experience as seamless as possible while maintaining an entirely relaxed environment, handy devices range from electronic page-turners and reading lights to dedicated moveable stands for a truly hands-free reading session.

From the purely aesthetic to the marvellously utilitarian, we’ve curated a selection of the best accessories for eBook obsessives to enjoy as the mercury begins to drop.
