It’s finally here: a built-in remote for your e-reader. Your Kobo e-reader that is.
In early October, Kobo, maker of our favorite e-readers including the Clara Color and Libra Color, announced that it was launching a remote that would be compatible with all of its e-readers. The launch date for the new remote was moved up from November 4th to December 2nd, and now it’s finally here.

The Kobo Remote pairs with Kobo e-readers via Bluetooth, allowing users to turn pages with the remote instead of the e-reader. It has an ergonomic design so that your head doesn’t get stuck in an uncomfortable twist during your reading marathon. The remote sells for $29.99 and comes in black or white.
This accessory comes with the growing popularity of remote page turners on TikTok. Kobo also beats out e-reader giant Amazon, as there is no native remote sold for Kindles. The most popular options are two-piece remotes that require one piece that clips onto the e-reader and taps onto the screen. The Kobo remote is a single piece, leaving your screen completely unobstructed.
