Buying advice
Our top picks
Best overall: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Colorsoft Case (£29.99). The official cover for the latest models. The Amazon UK listing says it fits the Kindle Paperwhite (2024), Paperwhite Signature Edition (2024), Kindle Colorsoft and Colorsoft Signature Edition. It has a thin, lightweight design and a water-safe fabric cover, and it opens and closes like a book to wake the Kindle or put it to sleep.
Best budget: MoKo 6-7" eReader Sleeve Bag (£5.59). A padded pouch for carrying a Kindle in a handbag or rucksack. The listing says it has an anti-splash polyester outside, soft lining and thick padding, plus two inner pockets for a charger, cable or earphones and a pen loop.
Best for the whole family: JSAUX Tablet Pillow Stand (£13.99). A soft stand that holds a device at a comfortable angle on a bed, sofa or rug. The listing says it suits devices from 4 to 11 inches, adjusts to several viewing angles and has a mesh pocket for a cable and charger, so it works for a Kindle or the family tablet.
Other gifts for Kindle readers
MoKo Case for 7" Kindle Paperwhite 12th Gen & Colorsoft 2024 (£9.49). A cheaper hard case for the 2024 Paperwhite. The listing says it has a PU leather hardback, a scratch-free interior, a magnetic closure and auto wake and sleep, with a cutout so the Kindle can charge in the case.
Stouchi Remote Control Page Turner (£13.99). A small clicker that turns pages without touching the screen. The listing says a clip attaches to the Kindle, the remote pairs automatically when switched on, and the clip and remote charge together magnetically from one cable. It lists compatibility with touchscreen Kindles including the 2024 Paperwhite, Colorsoft and Scribe.
TUBAWD Gooseneck Kindle Holder (£8.99). A clamp-on arm that holds a Kindle above the bed or desk. The listing says it rotates 360 degrees and has anti-slip material on the base and clamp.
What to look for in gifts for Kindle readers
Check their model. Cases are made for specific Kindles, so confirm which one they have, such as the 2024 Paperwhite or Colorsoft, before buying. Sleeves and stands are more forgiving.
Think about where they read. Bath and beach readers may like a water-safe case, commuters a sleeve, and bedtime readers a stand or page turner.
Skip the book light. Current Kindles have a built-in adjustable front light, so a clip-on light is not needed.
Add a book. You can also send a Kindle book as a gift alongside an accessory.
Prices note
All six picks were between £5.59 and £29.99 on Amazon UK when we checked on 6 October 2026. Prices and stock change often, so check the live price on Amazon before you buy.
Frequently asked questions
Do you need a case for a Kindle?
You do not need one, but a case helps protect the screen from scratches and knocks in a bag. Cases such as the official Amazon cover (£29.99) and the MoKo case (£9.49) also wake the Kindle when opened and put it to sleep when closed. Prices were checked on Amazon UK on 6 October 2026.
Can you read a Kindle in the dark?
Yes, current models have a built-in light. Amazon's listing for the 2024 Kindle says it has an adjustable front light and dark mode, and the 2024 Kindle Paperwhite listing says its display has a built-in front light that adjusts from white to amber for reading in the dark.
Is the Kindle Paperwhite waterproof?
Yes. Amazon's listing for the Kindle Paperwhite (2024) says it is waterproof to IPX8, tested to withstand immersion in 2 metres of fresh water for 60 minutes.
What are good gifts for Kindle readers?
Accessories that protect the Kindle or make reading more comfortable are the best bet. A case, a padded sleeve, a remote page turner and a stand for reading in bed are all useful, and all six in this guide were between £5.59 and £29.99 on Amazon UK on 6 October 2026.
