Wired says $35 Kindle Click could be a better upgrade than Amazon’s new Kindles

Wired reports today that after trying Amazon’s latest Kindles, its review recommends the $35 Kindle Click accessory as the better upgrade for owners of compatible e-readers. The verdict could shift buying decisions heading into the holiday shopping window, steering existing Kindle users toward an inexpensive add-on instead of a full device replacement. It also highlights the growing appeal of incremental upgrades at a time of tighter consumer budgets.

According to Wired, the Click delivers enough day-to-day improvement for many readers that a new Kindle may be unnecessary if their current model supports the accessory. The review frames the $35 spend as high-value compared with the cost and trade-offs of moving to Amazon’s latest hardware, while noting compatibility is the deciding factor. Watch for Amazon to clarify supported devices, retailer availability, and whether other early reviews echo Wired’s take. [Developing. This article will be updated.]
