37 Perfect Gifts For Book Lovers In Your Life
A personalized floral book stamp so the next time your friend lends out a book to their incredibly forgetful sibling, they can quickly remind themselves to return the precious novel to its rightful owner. Plus, it just looks so freaking cool. 🤩 A TikTok-famous 3-in-1 convertible "reading chair" your buddy can curl into at the end of the day with their favorite book and cup of hot cocoa. It has an outlet so they can charge their Kindle before it dies in the middle of a great chapter, a side pocket they can use to stash all their fave snacks, hidden storage in the bottom to hold their coziest blanket, AND it pulls into a full sleeper bed so they can reach ultimate levels of relaxation! A wearable blanket so they can snuggle cozily as they read about the detective getting closer and closer to solving the murder that has plagued his entire career. Yeah, they're gonna need the extra comfort when that plot twist finally gets revealed. A clever bookshelf street sign perfect for firmly decorating their home into the mini library it was always meant to be. This has options like "Thriller Ave," "Romantasy Rd," and the super helpful "To Be Read" — now they can quickly find that fantasy novel they've been meaning to read all week. A pair of horizontal glasses for all those bookworms out there who want to be able to read while lying down snuggled on their couch. This is sure to be a reader's greatest discovery since AO3 was created. A book lover's journal perfect for tracking all of theur adventures and the characters they've met along the way. They can review up to 52 of their fave (or absolutely despised) books, load up on the details, and even complete reading challenges. The next time they're wracking your brain tryna figure out the name of that one book they read with a dragon, all they need to do is thumb through this journal! A book-tracker bookmark to help keep them accountable as they tackle that Goodreads Book Challenge once and for all. Or a handmade pressed flower bookmark so gosh darn cute that they might find themselves staring at these rather than the actual words on the page. A waterproof Kindle Paperwhite to carry an entire library worth of books so they're always entertained while soaking in the bath, going on a long plane ride, or just sun tanning on the beach. It features an anti-glare screen and an adjustable built-in light (with a brand new warm light option 👀), so they can read into the night or even while out under the bright sun! Plus, not only does it carry thousands of downloaded books, but the battery life lasts up to 10-freaking-weeks!!! AND a remote control page turner so they can continue the adventure even as they leannn back into their pillows — because let's be honest, it's pretty much impossible to remove your arms from the cocoon of blankets you've got them under when you're this cozy. It works for Kindles, iPads, and Android tablets. A set of floating bookshelves because their best adventures deserve to be the centerpiece of their room. A cool pin set so they can proclaim their favorite hobby loud and proud for all to see. This is a set of six, so they can stick them on their bags, hats, or their classic jean jacket. A book-shaped purse for anyone who wants to strut down the street while carrying their favorite title. From Wuthering Heights to Frankenstein to 1984 — their fave classic novel is just waiting for them to show it off. A pair of socks to keep their toes warm as they spend yet another night reading 'til dawn — because frankly, there's not enough time in the day to read all those novels they have on their TBR list. A set of starry evening eye masks they can apply to add a bit of ✨sparkle✨ as they sit back on their fluffy couch and continue their enemies-to-lovers novel. These masks use hyaluronic acid and collagen to brighten and reduce puffiness from their under eyes — which is perfect because they do not want their colleagues to know how little sleep they've been getting, thanks to their new fave book series. A scratch-off poster of 100 must-read books for those times they're in a bit of a reading slump and need something new to peruse. A box of Novel Teas so they can relax and sip their warm brew — and read a punny lil' quote as they do so! A cool ~interactive~ literature mug with a QR code they can scan to reveal quotes from the biggest literary giants like Charles Dickens, W.E.B. DuBois, Jane Austen, and more. There are 365 quotes total, so they can read a quote a day for a whole year! A cult-favorite luxury-scented candle that'll transport them from their home to the woodsy forest of their favorite fairytale or the flowery fields in Twilight. With a jasmine, oud, and sandalwood blend, it'll make them feel like a lounging royal as they light it up and lean back with their favorite book. A cult-favorite ~secret~ popcorn salt because the taste of movie theatre popcorn is elite, and they want that same buttery-salty-goodness without having to actually exit their home. Their nights at home curled up with a book just became a whole lot better. A personalized frosted glass tumbler you can add their name to because, frankly, it already depicts what they look like at 2 a.m. when the enemies finally turn to lovers. An acrylic book-shaped flower vase for anyone who wants to feel like a romance book heroine and display their bouquet elegantly — because pretty decor is a 🎶tale as old as time🎶. A personalized embroidered bookmark to help prevent them from the habit of dog-earring their pages — but like, in the cutest way possible. A Shakespearian insult chart because they need more creative ways to insult that awful read recommended by BookTok — and why not borrow some phrases from The Bard himself? Vintage-inspired bookshelf games like Monopoly, Scrabble, Candy Land, and more that hold all of the pieces to their favorite classic board games while being beautiful enough to blend seamlessly into their aesthetic bookshelf. An LED reading light because you know their partner is tired of being woken up by the bright lights of the bedside table lamp every time your friend wants to read "just one more chapter." An attachable Stanley Cup snack bowl perfect for their "girl dinner" nights lounging with the latest edition of the Fourth Wing series. Trying to balance both a large plate of snacks and their oversized Stanley is too much of a hassle for their relaxing night at home — this'll keep everything they need all in one place. A pair of handmade bookcase earrings because they want the whole world to identify them as a proper bookworm with a proper fashion sense, thank you very much. A gorgeous wicker egg chair they can curl into (almost like a cat) as they witness the fake dating finally turn to real love in their current read. 👀 A luxury bath pillow to elevate those relaxing reading-in-the-tub sessions and make the seating so freaking comfy they'll never want to leave. They can say buh-bye to the feeling of ice-cold tile sticking to their back, they'll be lounging on plush cushions as the heroine finally discovers what her paramour has been keeping from her. A totally bookish coaster, so they can protect their coffee table from water rings while also displaying their literary passions for all to see. A ~brilliant~ wooden book light for the perfect mood lighting and the perfect aesthetic in their little reading corner. A faux book display with a hollow interior so they can stash any unsightly wires, cords, routers, or outlets behind it. Now their space can look clean and organized with no one the wiser that just behind those aesthetic-looking books is a messy jumble of wires. A Night Court sweatshirt because ACOTAR is a way of living, not just a hobby, and its hold on their heart deserves to be reflected in their wardrobe. Or a "Morally Grey Book Club" hoodie so the world can understand their book taste (and their whole vibe, really) without them needing to utter a single word. Don't be shocked when they start getting hounded for book recs every time they leave the house. A 50-pack of book-themed stickers because their laptop case absolutely should be the perfect reflection of their ✨bookish personality✨ and ✨literary soul. ✨ A pair of vintage-inspired book-themed whiskey glasses so they can sip in literary style. They come in Alice in Wonderland, Hamlet, Pride & Prejudice, and The Tell-Tale Heart themes. To get them all, or not to get them all... that is the question. Now they're ready for their 🎶 "adventure in the great wide somewhere!" 🎶

Amazon Kindle Scribe With the Premium Pen Hits Its Lowest Price Yet, Not Even This Low on Black Friday
Ok so I don't need to spend time selling you on what's beneficial about a Kindle, yeah? Now of course, some of us love the feeling of a physical copy in our hands to flip through and then even keep on our shelves once we're done. Though, there is no ignoring the obvious convenience and practicality to something like an Amazon Kindle. The ability to store thousands of books to take with you on a plane or to the park speaks for itself. Though one issue with the standard digital book reader is it's not exactly great to be starting at a backlit screen all day, plus no amount of backlit can compete with the glare of the sun shining down on it. The Kindle Paperwhite solved that with its enhanced screen. However, the Kindle Scribe takes that even further by adding in a Premium Pen for annotations and other writing — now 25% off at Amazon. See at Amazon Read and Write Anywhere The Kindle Scribe has a flush-front design with a 300 ppi glare-free 10.2-inch display. It looks like real paper, even under bright light like from the sun. So if you like to read out on the beach or your porch on a bright, sunny day, you can actually do that comfortably with this version of the Kindle. The screen has an adjustable warm light and auto-adjusting front light, which makes it viable to read during day or night. No need to worry about and accidents with your Kindle Scribe at the beach or by the pool. It's waterproof with an IPX8 rating, so it's able to withstand up immersion in up to two meters of fresh water for up to an hours and up to a quarter meter of seawater for up to three minutes. The Kindle Scribe includes the Premium Pen which has a customizable shortcut button and a soft-tipped eraser that writes naturally with no lag. The pen just works, requiring no charging or setup at all, allowing you to write directly on the book page and create space for your notes using Active Canvas. Take your reading even further by subscribing to Kindle Unlimited. You'll gain access to over two million titles, thousands of audiobooks and more. That's right, you can even listen to audiobooks off this thing. Just pair a set of Bluetooth earbuds and let your reader read to you. With a storage capacity of either 16 GB, 32 GB, or 64 GB, you can house thousands of audiobooks so no need to ween down which books you want to take out with you as you head to your local coffee shop. You can simply take them all. The Kindle Scribe is available in both tungsten and metallic jade. Get yours for as low as $300 — a $100 discount (-25%) for a limited time. See at Amazon

The 5 best Kindle cases, chosen by our book-obsessed editors
Looking for the best Kindle cases can feel as tricky as selecting the one truly perfect page-turner to pack for a vacation (a problem that's in the past when your Kindle holds so many e-books). Not every case is a winner, and you can often have trouble trying to get a sense of how they actually feel — or if they have the right cutouts for your ports and buttons — from just looking at them online. But as one of our editors learned firsthand, it's a very good idea to protect your Amazon Kindle with a case to keep it alive. Finding the right Kindle cases and covers for multiple models wasn't exactly difficult, though. Our book-loving staff have been using Amazon's e-readers for years and have lost count of all the cases we've tried along the way. So, when we huddled as a team to share our picks, we came to a consensus pretty quickly, having actually lived with these cases for multiple months, if not years. Our cases are mostly for the best Kindles we've recently tested, including the 11th- and 12th-generation Kindle Paperwhites. Cases for the latter model also cover the new Kindle Colorsoft, which has the same physical specs. We've also got a case for the new 6-inch Kindle, and it comes strongly recommended by the most voracious reader I know. We've yet to find a good case for the Kindle Scribe, though, so check back with us later for more about that one. Here are the five best Kindle cases we've actually used and tested. CoBak 7-Inch Kindle Paperwhite Stand Case With Hand Strap Copy editor Danielle Poiesz raved about how this case is basically everything you could want, saying, 'The strap is handy, it's cute, it's affordable and I can prop it up if I want to read while I eat a piece of cake and drink a glass of wine.' Clearly, this is the Kindle case for the reader who has it all. I got one of these in to check out for myself, and in addition to its sturdy build quality and pleasing texture, I have to shout out the hidden hand-strap in the back cover that enables one-handed reading. This case is on the thicker side, but it's not too 7-Inch Kindle Paperwhite and Colorsoft Sleeve Case Associate editor Jillian Tracy is the sole team member who defended a sleeve-style case. Tracy explained that she's often 'chucking [her] Kindle in a stuffed backpack or tote bag, and this magnetic case helps keep [her] Kindle from ending up scratched, sand-filled or spilled on.' As for its look, 'it's nothing fancy, but it gets the job done,' she said. Since this is a pouch-style case, it doesn't just fit the 7-inch Paperwhite and Colorsoft; it also fits the 6.8-inch Paperwhite from 6.8-Inch Kindle Paperwhite Case Digital content strategist Madison Yerke praised this 6.8-inch case for helping her previous-generation Kindle stay strong. "I have had this one for a few years and love it! It hasn't shown any signs of wear and has protected my screen from the numerous falls from my bed and liquid spills,' said Yerke, before dropping that sweating smiley emoji. 'It's pretty lightweight and doesn't feel like I have a bulky case on it.'Strapsicle 6.8-Inch Kindle Paperwhite Clear Case CNN Underscored editorial director Chelsea Stone told me this case's allure is about more than just its protective shell. She says that while it is 'a perfectly fine basic clear case for your Kindle, the real reason to buy it is that it comes with 40 fun reading-themed stickers to decorate the back with.' Those decorations are what we in the business refer to as a delightful bonus. Oh, and those looking for a one-handed reading experience should also consider this model because its thin design means you don't have much added weight. CoBak 6-Inch Kindle Case While our other Kindle case recommendations come from our staff, this CoBak case is my mom's own Kindle case, which I gave her for her birthday last year. Seven months after I gave it to her, I asked her if she liked it, and she answered instantly with a resounding 'yes!' That's enough for me to call it in for testing, and I was pretty pleased with how this 6-inch budget case protects my own Kindle 2024, Amazon's latest entry-level e-reader. Not only does it fit that Kindle perfectly but its magnetic cover supports the automatic wake and sleep functionality, so you won't waste any battery life. One small caveat is that its matte polyurethane leather cover material feels a little tacky (though that material is waterproof). I'm happy to note you barely touch that part when you're actually reading, and you feel the case's microfiber interior far more often. Which model do you have? First off, you're going to need to figure out which Kindle you're trying to protect. Open the Settings menu and select Device Info to find the name of your specific model, such as 'Kindle Paperwhite (10th Generation).' Now, make sure you look for that model number or a shortening of it, such as 'Paperwhite 10th Gen,' when you're browsing Kindle cases. No matter which model you have, look for a case with magnets that help it stay shut; it's especially important when traveling. How do you use your e-reader? If you like to go hands-free, like Stone does with her beloved cozy Kindle Bluetooth page turner, you'll want to look for a case that enables that sort of experience. The CoBak Stand Case, for example, includes a built-in kickstand you can pop out of its front cover to prop it up on a table. If you have a grip for your Kindle, though, then you're probably best off with Strapsicle's clear case or its strap holders, because they're a bit lighter and easier to clip the Bluetooth page turner on. How do you care for your tech? Kindle cases provide varying levels of protection, ranging from the Strapsicle strap cases that cover just the edges of your Kindle and to the CoBak Stand Case that gets you a whole folio-style case. I'd recommend the latter if you're buying for someone that's a bit more reckless. While the Paperwhite is already water-resistant, the Strapsicle and MoKo cases and the 6-inch CoBak cover also use waterproof materials. Do all Kindles need a case? Do all Kindles need a case? All Kindles could use a case, but the question of the need for a Kindle case depends on how you treat your Kindle. Some people I know, including one person I work with, tend to put a fair amount of wear and tear on their Kindle and could use the protection. I tend to be a bit more careful with my tech and have yet to really need one. Are there any Kindle cases that fit all Kindles? Are there any Kindle cases that fit all Kindles? Not if you're talking about a rigid, form-fitting case. Most Kindle models vary in their dimensions and that includes button placement. However, you may find a case for all Kindles if you look through the Kindle pouches and sleeves designed for the 12th-generation Kindle Paperwhite, one of the largest Kindles yet. However, those still won't fit the super-sized Kindle Scribe, Amazon's Kindle for writers. What is the best way to remove a Kindle from its case? What is the best way to remove a Kindle from its case? I apply pressure to the back of one of the top corners while holding on to the front and back on the bottom of the case. For this article, we consulted the following readers on the CNN staff. Danielle Poiesz, copy editor at CNN Underscored Chelsea Stone, editorial director at CNN Underscored Jillian Tracy, associate editor at CNN Underscored Madison Yerke, digital content strategist at CNN Underscored The CNN Underscored team applies even more tenacity to product reviews than it does to reading, which is saying something when we're in the middle of a competitive summer reading challenge at the moment.
