This Viral Kindle Stand Will Take Your Reading to the Next Level

I spend a lot of time reading, and a Kindle has really been a game-changer for my reading experience. While there is nothing quite like holding a hardback book, you just can't beat the convenience of an e-reader. Every book you can think of is literally at your fingertips through the Kindle, and I'm a huge proponent of my library's Libby app (yes, all of my holds come in at once!).

The top-of-the-line Kindle Scribe is very tempting (see our review here), but I've found that, for the price, the Paperwhite has everything I need. The screen is easy on the eyes and it's even waterproof in case you're reading poolside or in the bath (plus, the battery life is incredible!).

If you've spent any time on BookTok, you've likely seen some elaborate Kindle setups, complete with remotes, stands, and cases. We've put together our list of Kindle essentials that will take your reading experience to the next level. Make your next read a little more comfortable with these picks.

Kindle Paperwhite

If you don't have a Kindle yet, start here! The Kindle Paperwhite is not the top-of-the-line model (that honor goes to the Kindle Scribe), but it give you the most bang for your reading buck. The display is easy on the eyes and it has a dark mode for nighttime reading, plus the battery life is incredible. It's also waterproof. For an additional $20, you can get a version without lockscreen ads, but we don't even notice them.

Tablet Stand Pillow

This is my personal favorite Kindle accessory, and it makes a great gift for the readers in your life! If you spend any time reading in bed, you've likely had the unpleasant experience of falling asleep mid-read and dropping the Kindle on your face. (Just me??) This pillow solves that problem and makes the reading experience much more comfortable.

The tablet stand is fully adjustable, and installation is a breeze: The holder is spring-loaded and adjusts to fit any size tablet. The base is a beanbag-filled pillow curved to fit in your lap while sitting or laying down. For the best reading experience, you'll want to get a remote page turner (not included).

RF Remote Control Page Turner

Once you have a stand setup, you'll definitely want a remote page turner. This one is easy to use, straight from the box. It's very simple: You click the button on the receiver and the button on the remote to pair, and then you're ready to go. Simply clip the receiver to the edge of the Kindle, and when you press the large button on the remote, the page turns! It makes the reading experience hands-free and allows you to set up your stand where it's most comfortable, even if it is out of reach. (Note that you may need to remove your case for the remote to work.)

Library Card PopSocket

For a hand-held reading experience, you'll want a PopSocket. This one is adhesive and will leave a bit of residue when you remove it. But we love the vintage library card design! Play around with the placement before you adhere it to your Kindle case. Most people prefer it to one side, rather than in the middle of the device.

Phone Grip with MagSafe Adapter Ring

If you don't want an adhesive PopSocket, a magnetic version is the way to go! Kindles are not magnetic, so you need to be sure to get one with a MagSafe adapter ring. That way, you can swap out your PopSocket with any case or remove it entirely. This model is available in more than two dozen colors and patterns.

Hand Strap Holder for Kindle

This holder is a great option if you don't want something attached to your device. The simple strap design attaches with sturdy clips and fits snugly around your hand when reading. Bonus: This device comes with a protective felt cover, perfect for traveling.

Hugl Cooling Body Pillow

The makers of the Pufl human dog bed have a new cooling body pillow, ideal for reading in bed. It has a U-shape perfect for getting a good night's rest (especially if you have any back or joint pain), but the innovative design allows the back to be propped up and the sides adjusted for reading in bed. It's made from self-cooling fabric so you won't have to worry about being too warm.

Gooseneck Tablet Stand Holder

This gooseneck Kindle holder is a great option if you have a nightstand by your bed. You simply clamp it on to a desk, nightstand, or headboard, and then adjust the flexible neck so you can read hands-free. There are also floor stand versions available if you don't have a nearby surface to clamp it on (plus you can take it from the bedroom to the couch to the bathtub!).

Screen Cleaner

Get rid of smudges and fingerprints easily with this device. The cleaner has a spray and a built-in microfiber cloth so you can keep your kindle screen looking new. It's also perfect for phones and the touchscreen in your car. This is a set of four, so you can keep one in your car, purse, and wherever else you might need it.

Crissy Full Crossbody

Kindle users don't leave home without their device. You need to have a book at the ready in case you get stuck waiting in line or for an appointment. But not all crossbody bags will fit a Kindle. This Arden Cove bag is the perfect size to fit a Kindle and the rest of your essentials (we love the built-in wallet), plus it's made with water-resistant fabric in case you get stuck out in the rain! You can choose from faux leather and chain straps in a variety of lengths.

Tablet Pillow Stand

This stand option is easy to use and more affordable than some of the other choices. You can decide how much you want your device to lean with the three different ridges at the base. It folds up to become a portable neck or back pillow and has pockets in the back to hold your charging cable, earbuds, or phone. Choose from gray, orange, or blue.

Kindle Case

There are countless Kindle cases available, but this simple, inexpensive design is the favorite of several Country Living editors. It's very low-profile and easy to remove, and the magnetic feature will put the device in sleep mode when closed. Plus, it comes in dozens of colors and patterns.
