TL;DR Kobo introduced its first handheld clicker for remote page turning.
The Bluetooth-enabled Remote runs on a AAA battery and works up to 20m.
It will be available for $29.99 starting December 2.
Update: October 23, 2025 (3:00 PM ET):
The Kobo Remote will now be available starting December 2, rather than November 4 as originally announced. According to the company, the delay is due to unforeseen circumstances. Kobo issued the following statement: “We’ve had a small adjustment to our timeline for Kobo Remote. Our new accessory will now be available in-store and online on December 2, 2025. As always, Kobo’s focus is on providing the best possible reading experience and we look forward to sharing more details soon!” Original article: October 15, 2025 (6:00 AM ET):
