"Wireless remotes for e-readers aren't a new idea, but none of them just directly connect to Kindles and Kobos, despite recent versions of those e-readers now supporting Bluetooth. You either need to jump through hoops to modify the software on your e-reader to make it connect to specific third-party remotes, or settle for a remotely operated accessory that attaches to an e-reader and physically taps the screen to turn the page."
"Clip-on page turners have always felt too cumbersome and complicated to me. I'm probably not alone, because shortly after it launched last November, the $30 Kobo Remote quickly sold out and remained out of stock for several months. It wasn't until late January that I was finally able to buy one, and while I think Kobo could have squeezed in a little more functionality, both my wife and I have readily embraced the remote."
Kobo introduced a wireless page-turning remote designed to enhance the e-reading experience by eliminating the need to hold or manipulate devices while reading. Unlike previous third-party solutions requiring software modifications or physical clip-on attachments to tap screens, the Kobo Remote connects directly to compatible e-readers through Bluetooth. Priced at $30, the device sold out quickly after its November launch, indicating strong consumer interest. Measuring approximately 4 inches long, the remote prioritizes convenience and simplicity. While the device offers basic functionality, users appreciate its straightforward approach to maximizing reading comfort during leisure time.
