Kindle (11th generation)
Accessories
Cases, styluses and lights worth owning.
The entry Kindle is small, light and cheap, and it needs almost nothing. A case that sleeps and wakes the device is the one purchase most people should make — partly because it also means you see the lock-screen ad for less time. Because it is the cheapest Kindle, it is worth keeping accessory spending modest; a 20-dollar case on a 110-dollar device is about the right ratio. Picks are grouped by type below.

Cases & covers

Basic Kindle fabric cover
A folio that wakes and sleeps the entry Kindle on open and close, folds back for one-handed reading, and holds shut with a light magnet. Third-party versions cost less and mostly match it.

Reading lights

Clip-on warm reading light
A rechargeable clip light with an adjustable warm-to-cool range. Useful even on readers with a front light when you want zero glow from the screen at night.

Screen protector for the basic Kindle
A film cut for the entry Kindle's 6-inch screen. The Kindle's glass is already matte, so this is about scratch resistance for a device that travels loose in a bag.

A small aluminium or silicone stand that props the reader at a reading angle on a desk or table. Handy for hands-free reading while eating or following a recipe.
