New Delhi: eReader recently launched its latest device, which looks to simplify users’ reading experience even further. Rakuten Kobo has a latest accessory that does exactly that, designed for avid readers. The Kobo Remote is a wireless page turner meant to help users turn the page with the push of a button. The device pairs with the brand’s eReaders through Bluetooth with a wireless range of up to 65 feet, allowing for continuous reading without needing to touch the screen. It uses a single replaceable AAA battery, which Kobo claims will offer months of daily reading, although the company notes this also depends on the user’s habits.
The lightweight accessory features an ergonomic design meant to minimise hand strain. The Kobo Remote offers unparalleled convenience with the intuitive controls that let the user remain immersed in their reading rhythm. Rakuten Kobo CEO Michael Tamblyn explained that the device serves as an invitation to lounge deeper, multitask smarter and enjoy reading without limits, regardless of environment.
The Kobo Remote comes with two colours, which are Black and White, as mentioned earlier, to be compatible with the brand’s Bluetooth-enabled eReaders. This includes the Kobo Libra Colour, the Kobo Clara Colour, and the Kobo Elipsa 2E. It is priced at RM155, the wireless page turner will be available for purchase in the stores and online starting from 4 November 2025.
