Amazon Kindle E reader accessories

Picture this: You just finished your next book and you go to set it on your bookshelf and notice that there is no more room. It is packed to the brim with books that you have already read. But you can't stand the thought of getting rid of them. You loved them all and REFUSE to sell them, even though the odds of re-reading them are slim. (I know the feeling girl - no shame!)

What now?

You do the one thing that all physical book readers will scoff at . . . you decide to get a Kindle. So you head over to Amazon you realize there are so many different kinds of Kindles. Where do you even start with trying to decide which one is right for you?

Girlie, that is why you are here. I got you! Let's break it down for the different kinds of Kindles and see which features will suit you best!

Pros to getting a Kindle

Okay, so now I've peaked your attention. You may be asking "Why should I get a Kindle, what are the pros?"

-Save money on books -- E Books are soooo much more affordable to buy or you can pay for the Amazon Kindle Unlimited subscription and you pay a small monthly fee and you can rent all the books you want!

- Save Space -- Gone are the days of your house being run by over stuffed bookshelves. I loved to display all my books but it is just not practical to be able to keep them all

- Easy to travel -- You fellow readers know the pain of going on vacation and trying to figure out how many books you can pack into your suitcase and then trying to decide which ones! Now you can upload a bunch onto your Kindle and take them all with you and you can decide as you go!

  • Bonus: These are great to take in your purse. I can put this into my belt bag and still have enough room for my wallet, keys and some snacks. ( Toddler mama's get it)

- Some E books even come with free audiobook versions. So you get two for one for all my audiobook girlies.

Personally, I have the standard and love it! I'm on my second Kindle already since i've jumped on the bandwagon. BUT with that being said, that doesn't mean I don't try a new version next time I need to get a new one. 😉

Now, let's get into the part that everyone really cares about . . . the cute accessories! Gone are the days of the cute bookmarks; here enters the Kindle accessories.

Amazon Kindle Accessories

This is the best part! I added a small list of some of the main options that you can get and then you can customize from there. There are endless color and design options that you can switch it up as often as you want! My two favorite of these items is the page turner and the pop socket. The snack tray holder is on my list to get though! Without further ado, let's get into it!

Page Turner: This is so fun! I didn't think I saw any value in it when it's so easy to just tap the screen to change the page. BUT it does open up a whole new world of reading positions when you don't have to hold your Kindle to be able to turn the page.

Strapsicle: This will be personal preference on how you want to be able to hold your Kindle. This offers more versatility on how you want to hold it.

Table Pillow/Snack Tray: Perfect for the 'lazy girly' Imagine you set this puppy up with your favorite snack and a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, you attach your page turner and you snuggle up on the couch. I don't think I could picture a more perfect way to spend my evening.

Popsocket: This is my go to for holding my Kindle. I think it is perfect size to still be able to tap to turn the page and you don't get the tech pinky ( i know you know what I'm talking about) by just having it resting on your pinky to hold it.

Leather Case: Cases are so fun! You can go cute and classy with this leather one. It provides protection for the front and the back of your Kindle and is super light weight.

Wireless Charger: (paperwhite only) I wish I had the paperwhite just for this reason. Is it a necessity, not really. But are wireless charges great to have, absolutely! Just a bonus accessory for if you want to be extra. Which I always suggest. 😉

In Conclusion

I hope you got some great insight and information on Amazon Kindles for figuring out which version suits you best and some super cute accessories to go with it. I know you physical book readers are hatin' on this a little bit and girl, I get it! I still would prefer to read a physical book but the pros are just to great with a Kindle for everyday use.
