Kindle Accessories 2011- What Are The Hot New Accessories?

Now that there’s a whole smorgasbord of new Kindle models, it would make sense there is a whole slew of Kindle accessories to follow. What are the hottest new sleeves, covers, reading light systems, screen protectors and other accessories? Let’s take a look.

Kindle Fire Hottest Accessories

The new hottest Kindle model is the Kindle Fire, the full color touch screen ebook reader slash tablet PC. Since the device is color touch, the accessories are obviously going to be different than the E Ink readers. Here are some of the hottest sellers at Amazon.com so far this 2011 Holiday Season.

1)  Kindle Fire Leather Cover by Marware (Assorted Colors)- This is a no-nonsense cover that comes in black, brown, green or pink. It’s available for pre-order to be released when the Kindle Fire is. Check Pricing at Amazon.com

The Marware Leather Cover comes in black, brown, green or pink

• Certified “Made for Kindle” accessory (Kindle Fire)
• Durable, genuine leather folio lined with soft microsuede for enhanced protection against impact and scratching
• Transforms to stand the Kindle Fire in 2 angles ideal for viewing and display
• Built-in interior hand strap for improved grip and hold during usage
• Convenient, high-grade elastic strap holds the lid open or closed

2) Verso Prologue Cover for Kindle Fire (Tan)- This cover has a little more rustic look and is proving to be popular among pre-order customers. Check pricing at Amazon.com.

The Verso Prologue's rustic look is proving popular

• Certified “Made for Kindle” accessory (Kindle Fire)
• Exceptionally crafted cover wrapped in luxurious fabric.
• Sturdy construction is lightweight but provides protection for your device.
• Soft, microfiber interior with full pocket for holding receipts or travel documents

3) Kindle Fire Zip Sleeve- Instead of getting a cover that stays on the device at all times, the zip sleeve acts as a carrying case. These are stylish, coming in “coral”, blue, “graphite”, “charcoal”, and “lime”, shown below. Check Pricing at Amazon.com.

Other Kindle Fire Accessories To Consider

Screen Protectors- These are clear film pieces that are affixed to the touch screen to protect from scuffs and scratches.

Headphones- You may want to pick up some nice quality headphones to enjoy all your media with booming sound.

Kindle Touch Hottest Accessories

For the E Ink devices, like the Kindle Touch, there are a lot of accessories. People will often get a sleeve for basic protection on the go, and others want a lighted cover. Some want to make sure they have a “hands off” experience, with a cover that can prop open and stay standing on it’s own. Here are some of the hottest Kindle Touch accessories available for the 2011 Christmas Season.

1) Marware Eco-Vue for Kindle and Kindle Touch Cover (Assorted Colors) – This cover is the most popular to date on Amazon.com for the Kindle Touch. It comes in three colors, black, brown and pink. Like many of the other covers, it has a “micro-suede” interior. Check Pricing at Amazon.com.

 

• Certified “Made for Kindle” accessory (Kindle and Kindle Touch)
• Durable, folio-style cover with RoHS compliant, eco-friendly leather exterior and soft microsuede interior for added protection
• Built-in interior hand strap for improved grip and hold during usage
• Thin pocket stores small items such as ID cards, credit cards and money
• Convenient elastic strap holds the lid open or closed
• Check out more Covers at Amazon.com

2) Kindle and Kindle Touch Zip Sleeve- Again, just like for the Kindle Fire, this is a good alternative for people who don’t want a cover affixed to the device, but want to protect it nonetheless. These come in the same colors as for the Fire with coral, lime, graphite, charcoal, and blue. Check Pricing at Amazon.com.

Marware Eco-Flip for Kindle and Kindle Touch Cover- This is a good alternative for those people who want to prop up the Kindle to read.

3) Kindle Lights and Lighted Covers- These are extremely popular because unlike the back lit screen of the Fire, the Kindle Touch and Kindle need exterior lighting when reading at night. There are a few options available. These are basically a must accessory to have for the Kindle. Check All Lights and Lighted Covers at Amazon.com.

Verso Rechargeable Wrap Light for Kindle- This is a popular solution for many. The big feature here is it’s rechargeable, so you won’t spend money on batteries.

Verso Clip-On Reading Light for Kindle- This is by far the most popular solution for lighting for most Kindle customers. It’s cheap, and it’s simple.

Kindle Touch Lighted Leather Cover- Here we have the light built-in to the cover. This model comes in a variety of colors, purple, green, brown and black.

Kindle Touch and Kindle Fire Accessories Abound

There are some great Kindle and Kindle Fire accessories this 2011 Christmas and Holiday Season to choose from. Some are pre-order to coincide with the release of the Touch and Fire, whereas others are available now. Have fun picking your favorites and making your Kindle your very own unique device. The great thing about Amazon.com is there’s plenty to choose from. When comparing the Nook vs Kindle for instance, one notices there are fewer options for the Nook user since only Barnes and Noble sells B and N covers on the site! Amazon users enjoy a lot more variety for sure.
