A case as captivating as the stories inside.

• Genuine top grain leather & weathered spine feels like a real book
• Three reading modes: book, folded and hands-free via built-in kickstand
• Wakes your Kindle when opened & puts it to sleep when closed
• Disguises your Paperwhite, protecting it from theft

Author's Note: BookBook for Kindle Paperwhite is hand-weathered & distressed. It comes with scratches and scuffs, just like a real vintage book. If you are looking for a pristine case, this may not be for you. If, however, you'd like a one-of-a-kind, worn spine, genuine leather case with personality, BookBook is made just for you.

A case as captivating as the stories inside.

BookBook for Kindle Paperwhite FAQs

How do I know which generation of Kindle I have?
The best way to identify which generation of Paperwhite you have is by the logos on the front and back. The 2018 10th generation has the full Amazon logo on the back. It is also the version that comes in multiple colors, whereas the previous generation only comes in black or white.

Does BookBook fit any other Kindle Paperwhite versions?
Because we use leather for the frame, other Kindle Paperwhites can fit in BookBook, even though it is made primarily to fit the 10th and 11th generation Paperwhite.

Doesn't Twelve South only make accessories for Apple products?
Yes, Twelve South still focuses most of its attention and products on Apple gear. But many of its Apple-centric customers also have Kindle eReaders and often requested a BookBook for their Kindle. “Every Mac friend I know has a Kindle for ‘reading-only’ time. Me, too!” said Andrew Green, Co-founder of Twelve South. “Our new BookBook for Kindle Paperwhite gives our customers a vintage case that adds tons of personality and protection.”

There are several reasons often cited for having both a Kindle and an iPad. For instance, the ability to read in direct sunlight; or a less-distracted reading experience without email, games, or a web browser just a click away; or reduced financial risk taking it on vacation or poolside.

    Please bring it back!!!

    I've delayed upgrading to a new Kindle because I love this case so much!! It has everything, including a truly premium look, a hands-free magnetic stand and lay flat case, real leather, and a zipper to keep it closed in my bag. No other Kindle case comes close. With the way everyone's excited about Kindle's new super basic leather cover with no features, it just proves there would be huge interest in a premium version. Please bring the Book Book so I can read happily, without holding on to my old, slow Kindle with the micro usb port. :(

    Bring it Back!

    Wish this was available for the new Kindle versions! I have one for the 11th gen Kindle Paperwhite Signature and it is fantastic, top notch! The 12th gen is slighly larger and will not fit this case unfortunately. There hasn't been a case that has matched this. Bring it back please! :)
