The Best Gifts for Book Lovers in 2024

As a book lover, there’s nothing quite like getting lost in a good novel or non-fiction title. Whether you prefer e-reading or sticking to traditional print, there are a variety of gadgets and subscriptions that can enhance your reading experience. Here at Engadget, we have a few heavy readers on staff who have shared their top picks for the best gifts for book lovers in 2024.

E-Readers

For those who prefer digital reading, an e-reader is a must-have. The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is a popular choice among our staff, with its high-resolution display and built-in light that allows for reading in any environment. The waterproof design also makes it perfect for reading in the bath or by the pool.

Another great option is the Barnes & Noble Nook Glowlight Plus, which offers a similarly high-quality display and built-in light, as well as the ability to borrow e-books from your local library.

Print Books

For those who prefer physical books, there are still plenty of gift options. The Amazon Bookstore offers a wide selection of titles, including bestsellers, classics, and indie picks. You can also support your local bookstore by purchasing a gift card, which allows the recipient to choose their own titles.

Subscriptions

Book subscriptions are another great way to support a book lover’s habit. The Amazon Book Club offers a monthly delivery of a new title, hand-picked by Amazon’s book editors. Similarly, the Goodreads Choice Awards subscription delivers a new book every month, chosen from the site’s most popular titles.

Accessories

In addition to e-readers and books, there are plenty of accessories that can enhance a book lover’s experience. The Anker PowerCore 20000, for example, is a portable charger that can keep your e-reader or tablet charged for weeks on end.

For those who prefer to read in bed, the Bedtime Reading Pillow offers a comfortable and adjustable way to prop up your book or e-reader.
