E-Readers & Accessories

Carry your digital library wherever you go with a lightweight, portable e-reader. Whether you enjoy books, newspapers, blogs, or online magazines, e-readers offer convenience and practicality to enable you to read more. With enough space to store hundreds of titles, you'll be able to catch up on reading while you travel and commute, plus clear some of the paper clutter from your living spaces. E-readers are equipped with features like anti-glare displays, backlighting for nighttime reading, and adjustable font size. If you’re trying to decide which Kindle model is the best e-reader for you, think about whether you’d be happy with the features of the smaller, 6-inch screen Kindle Paperwhite or if you want to upgrade to the 7-inch Kindle Oasis with a brighter display and adjustable lighting. There’s no wrong answer because both models are exceptional, but if you want to take a warm bath while enjoying your new mystery novel, opt for one that’s water resistant.

Whether you’re treating yourself or shopping for someone else, Amazon Kindle readers are a great gift for anyone who likes to relax by getting lost in a good book. Since the backlit screens vary in price between the four, five, or 25 LEDs, you can always pick up an attachable reading light depending on what your budget allows. If you prefer multimedia reading like illustrated cookbooks or travel guides with many graphics, and you want to be able to do that on the same device that you access games and videos, a tablet might be a better option. But for true bibliophiles, a Kindle with all the right e-reader accessories is your ticket to historical-fiction heaven. No matter what electronic book device you have your eye on, we can help you find the best e-reader for you at Best Buy.

One of the biggest attractions to the Amazon Kindle family is that their battery power can last for weeks. However, it’s still a good idea to keep an extra Kindle charger in your purse or travel bag so you’re not caught by surprise while on a long trip and unable to finish that thrilling autobiography with only one chapter left. Some folks are satisfied reading to their heart’s content on an Oasis with page-turn buttons for a more realistic book experience. On the other hand, there are those that also like to listen to audio books from time to time to satisfy their love for literature.

The good news is that even the most basic Kindle has Bluetooth capability to access an Audible app subscription. Either listen to a classic tale by pairing your Amazon Reader to wireless headphones or use the audio jack to plug in traditional headphones. When you’re ready to download the current best-seller, just use the Wi-Fi connection to browse the online store. Keep in mind that you won’t always be at home or near a reliable Wi-Fi connection, so a mobile hotspot sure comes in handy when you're turning the last page in the middle of nowhere. To ensure the best e-reader protection while you’re out and about, invest in a sturdy e-reader cover in whatever material and color suits your style.
