Kobo's Secret Weapon: Remote Page Turner Arrives

Kobo has introduced a new Bluetooth remote accessory designed to enhance the e-reading experience. This device allows users to effortlessly turn pages on their Kobo e-readers without touching the screen, catering to prolonged reading marathons with its ergonomic design. The remote is available for $29.99 in black or white.

This launch aligns with the increasing popularity of remote page-turning solutions, notably trending on social media platforms such as TikTok. Notably, Kobo has beaten Amazon to market, as there is no official remote available for Kindle devices. Unlike some third-party solutions, Kobo's remote is a single, cohesive unit that keeps the e-reader's display completely clear.

The Kobo Remote arrives at an opportune moment, coinciding with major sales events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The Kobo Libra Colour e-reader, for instance, is available for $199.99, a $30 discount, making the purchase of the new remote financially appealing.
