The Kobo remote is now available to buy

SHOP NOW: As of Dec. 2, Kobo has officially launched the Kobo Remote, built to work with any Kobo e-reader. Grab one now alongside the still discounted Kobo Libra Colour and save $30 and your coziest reading set-up yet.

It’s finally here: a built-in remote for your e-reader. Your Kobo e-reader that is.

In early October, Kobo, the maker of our favorite e-readers including the Clara Colour and Libra Colour, announced that it was launching a remote, compatible with all of its e-readers. The new remote’s launch date was pushed back from Nov. 4 to Dec. 2, and now it’s finally here.

The Kobo Remote pairs with Kobo e-readers via Bluetooth, allowing users to turn the page with the remote rather than on the e-reader. It has an ergonomic design so your head doesn’t get stuck in an uncomfortable cramp during your reading marathon. The remote retails for $29.99 and comes in either black or white.

This accessory comes with the rising popularity of remote page turners on TikTok. Kobo even beat e-reader giant Amazon to the punch, as there’s no native remote sold for Kindles. The most popular options are two piece remotes that require a piece that clips onto e-readers and taps the screen. The Kobo Remote is a single piece, leaving your screen totally unobstructed.

The Kobo Remote is available at just the right time. With Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the Kobo Libra Colour, our favorite color e-reader, is still on sale. You can grab the color e-reader that comes with coveted page-turning buttons for just $199.99, saving you $30. Those $30 you’re saving can go straight toward the remote, so you’re basically getting it for free.
