Best page turner remote for Kindle - Kindle Click or a clip-on alternative

Best page turner remote for Kindle? It depends on your e-reader's release year

If you have a Kindle from 2024 or newer, get the Kindle Click. It's the original Amazon remote that connects to the e-reader via Bluetooth and doesn't cover anything on the screen.

If your e-reader is older, get a radio remote with a clip. The clip attaches to the edge of the e-reader and taps the screen like a finger, so it works with every touchscreen model.

The rest of the article covers the details: which models the Kindle Click supports, how it differs from the clip, and how to set it up.

Which e-readers the Kindle Click works with

Amazon gives the following list of compatible models:

• Kindle 2026, Kindle Paperwhite 2026 and Kindle Colorsoft 2026
• Kindle 2024, Kindle Paperwhite 2024 and Kindle Colorsoft 2024
• Kindle Scribe 2024 and Kindle Scribe without a front light
• Kindle Scribe 3rd generation and Kindle Scribe Colorsoft

The author of The eBook Reader writes that the remote also works with the 2022 Kindle Scribe. That is his own observation, not an Amazon statement, so don't base your purchase on it if you have a different model.

To be clear: the Kindle Click does not work with the Kindle (2022) or the Kindle Paperwhite 11th generation. Amazon states that the remote does not support any model from before 2024. If you have one of these e-readers, go straight to the clip remotes.

Kobo (Kobo Remote) and BOOX (Tappy) also have their own remotes, but each works only with its own e-readers. They won't work with a Kindle.

We have picked the original Amazon remote and clip sets that fit older e-readers.

Kindle page turner remotes we recommend

Kindle Click or a clip-on remote

Kindle Click connects to your e-reader via Bluetooth. Nothing touches the screen and nothing covers the text. It has two large round buttons and two elongated ones on the side.

The round buttons turn pages, and you choose which one goes forward and which one goes back. The side ones change the screen brightness. Pressed together, they put the e-reader to sleep.

A clip-on remote is a set: a radio transmitter and a clip on the edge of the e-reader. The clip physically taps the screen, so you don't pair anything. It works with older Kindles, with Kobo, and even with a tablet.

It has its downsides, though. It usually turns pages in one direction only or requires repositioning the clip. It also covers a bit of the margin.

Among the clip-on sets, there are also versions made for specific habits:

• Finger ring: works the same way, but the button is always right under your thumb.
• Stand with a remote: the same solution bundled with a stand. Good if you read lying down and the e-reader needs to stand on its own.

Amazon also has a magnetic case with page-turn buttons. It is a different route to the same goal, for people who prefer to have the buttons on the case.

How to pair and charge Kindle Click

Start by updating the software on your e-reader. Without it, pairing won't work. Only then connect the remote to your Kindle.

The LED on the remote tells you what is happening:

• blinking blue: pairing in progress
• orange: the remote is charging
• green: the battery is full
• blinking red: the battery is low

The remote has a built-in rechargeable battery, which, according to Notebookcheck, lasts for weeks of use. You charge it via USB-C. A cable from your phone or another device is enough.

Fun fact: the Kindle Click box contains no cable or power adapter, but it does include a braided wrist strap.

Fun fact: Kindle Click puts the e-reader to sleep when you press both side buttons at once, but it can't wake it up.

Amazon unveiled Kindle Click alongside the new Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Colorsoft e-readers. Shipping started on October 28, 2026.

Frequently asked questions about Kindle remotes

Which remote for turning pages on a Kindle?

For a Kindle from 2024 or newer, choose Kindle Click. For older models, buy a radio remote with a clip. Both solutions let you turn pages without touching the screen.

Which Kindles does Kindle Click work with?

With the Kindle, Paperwhite and Colorsoft from 2024 and 2026, and with the Kindle Scribe (2024, without a front light, 3rd generation and Colorsoft). The author of The eBook Reader claims it also works with the 2022 Kindle Scribe. Older models are not supported.

Does Kindle Click work with the 11th generation Kindle Paperwhite?

No. Amazon states explicitly that the remote does not work with models from before 2024, including the 11th generation Paperwhite and the Kindle (2022). For these, you need a clip-on remote.

Does a clip-on remote work with every e-reader?

With every one that has a touchscreen. The clip taps the screen like a finger, so nothing needs to be paired with the e-reader. It will work with older Kindles, with Kobo and with a tablet, but it will cover a bit of the margin.

How do I charge Kindle Click?

Via the USB-C port. There is no cable or power adapter in the box, so use your own. An orange LED means charging, and a green one means a full battery.
