TL;DR
- Kobo’s $30 Bluetooth remote is now shipping as the company’s first official page-turning accessory.
- The Kobo Remote offers hands-free page turns, months-long AAA battery life, and basic audiobook controls.
- Early demand wiped out the first batch, but a restock is scheduled for December 15.
Kobo has officially started shipping its new Kobo Remote, a compact Bluetooth accessory that lets users flip e-reader pages hands-free. The tiny, tactile controller for next- and previous-page turns isn’t a novel idea (third-party remotes have been floating around for years), but this is the first branded option built specifically for Kobo’s ecosystem, and it should offer the most seamless compatibility.
