I came across an unusual Kindle accessory on Amazon today. They’ve been available since last August so they aren’t new but I’ve never seen them before.
The oddly-named Page Turnerz are an accessory that slides over the side of a Kindle to add some extra grip to hold one-handed. Plus there’s a strap on the back to slide your fingers under.
It can attach to either side so you can use it right or left-handed, and it comes with a red strap and a black strap.
The listing says it’s designed specifically for the Kindle Paperwhite 4, the latest Paperwhite model, but it looks like it might works with some other Kindles as well.
It’s labeled as a case/cover but it’s not really a case or cover at all, at least not in the traditional sense.
It currently sells for $13.99 with free Prime shipping. It has a 4.3-star rating with 81 reviews.
I sometimes have problems with bezels being too narrow on e-readers to hold comfortably (that’s one of the reasons why I prefer the page buttons on the Kindle Oasis), so I can see how something like this could be helpful. If I used the Paperwhite instead of an Oasis I’d get one.
I would love something like this made for the Oasis.
My Walmart has straps that fit on to just about any tablet for a few bucks, I’ve got a couple and occasionally use them on my Kindles.
That looks good. I recently started using a popsocket was absolutely surprised how much of a game changer it is. I think I’ve always treated an ereader like a hot potato, but with the popsocket I just stopped and held it the same way consistently without discomfort.
Now that’s a really interestinf idea!
I have a popsocket on my 10,5″ Samsung GalaxyTab S5e (and on my other e-readers as well) and it is suprisingly easy and light to use with only one hand. Highly recommended!
