Fueled by her “unending desire to be a human burrito,” writer Kase Wickman relies on a few accessories to turn her Kindle into the ultimate hands-free reading machine. These upgrades, like a gooseneck tablet mount and a page-turning remote control, make it easy for her to enjoy her latest read while remaining completely under the covers. Perfect for a long January weekend.

The best e-readers

They’re smaller than a paperback, last for weeks on a single charge, and give you an excellent reading experience.

One last thing: Hello from a recent e-reader convert

Hey, newsletter editor Haley Jo Lewis here. For the holidays, I was gifted a Kindle Paperwhite, and since then, my evenings have transformed. The e-reader is lightweight, easy to use, and simply put, fun to read on. (I’m not alone, either—senior staff writer Elissa Sanci loves hers so much, she worries she “may never read a paper book again.”)

‌

For my reading sessions, I slam my laptop shut, don my Emberjay pajamas, sip something warm from my Le Creuset mug … and have an extremely Wirecutter-y unwinding. (Which is ironic because the thing I’m unwinding from is Wirecutter? No offense.)
