A classic, inside and out.

Premium leather and hand distressing give BookBook the appeal of a great classic book. The natural grain and hand-weathered spine is different on each BookBook, which is a story in itself. With your Paperwhite enveloped in BookBook, don’t be surprised if people in coffee shops, cafes and hotel lounges comment on your BookBook. Along with great looks, holding a real book helps you immerse yourself deeper into the stories.

One vintage leather book - three ways to read it.

BookBook has a great plot twist. It gives you three options to read your Kindle Paperwhite. Spine in hand, it feels natural to hold your eBook novel like a traditional hardback book. Fold back the front cover and you can read your stories one-handed like a magazine. Finally, a hidden kickstand supports your Kindle so you can read hands-free. Prop up BookBook on the kitchen table so you can finish a chapter at the kitchen table, in bed or on the sofa. Enjoy reading your Kindle any way you like, flexibility courtesy of BookBook.

A how-to book on how to make a great case.

BookBook is as feature-packed as any case you’ll find. Protecting your device on all six sides, hardback covers, reinforced corners and a rigid spine shield your Paperwhite from drops as well as dings and scratches. Open BookBook and it will automatically turn your Kindle on! Closing the cover will return it to sleep. Oh yeah, and BookBook disguises your Kindle, helping protect it from theft. Funny how no one will steal a ‘book’ these days.

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.

    Beautiful

    It's a bit bulkier than my previous cover, but what a joy to look at and use! It's beautifully made, keeps my Kindle protected, and stands quite well for hands-free reading. I love it and would buy it again if needed, but this is such high quality that I doubt I will ever have to.

    Best case ever! RIP

    This has been the best Kindle case I've found. Sadly, my Kindle was recently lost and I was heartbroken to find I couldn't get this case again. If this ever comes back, I will be the happiest bookworm alive.

    Kindle Paperwhite

    PLEASE bring this back. I had to buy a new Kindle because mine was stolen. Probably because of the super cool Book Book cover.

    Friend ordered one from you all years ago so when I ordered my first Kindle just had to get it also. Very nice. Just have to learn how to use the Kindle now.
