A Simple Remote for a Convenient Reading Experience

The Kobo Remote is small and lightweight, but large enough to be comfortable to hold. Its size belies its purpose: to make reading on an e-reader as effortless as possible. Wireless remotes for e-readers aren’t new, but the $30 Kobo Remote has caught attention with its unique design and seamless pairing process. While some may view it as unnecessary, users who value convenience will appreciate its ease of use and versatility. The remote’s compact size makes it easy to lose or misplace in bed, but its inclusion of a wrist lanyard prevents this from happening. It also features two clicky buttons that easily differentiate between page-turning directions, despite lacking customization options for volume adjustment or screen brightness control. For users with specific needs, the Kobo Remote has proven useful – such as reading while snuggled up in bed, laying on one’s side to read, or using it on a treadmill. Its simplicity is part of its charm, making it an accessory worth considering for those seeking enhanced reading comfort and convenience. The Kobo Remote can be purchased for $29.99 at Rakuten Kobo and $32 at Amazon.
