Kobo’s new e-reader remote lets you turn the page with the push of a button

Kobo has announced an official remote for its e-readers, allowing you to easily turn the page even when you don’t have the e-reader at hand.

Although it won’t allow you to read e-books hands-free, it will help if you’re trying to read while your hands are busy with cooking or cats, or when the e-reader is propped up some distance away on a treadmill or coffee table. The included wrist strap means you can keep the remote within easy reach without physically holding it in Your hand. Amazon has plenty of third-party e-reader remotes designed for Kindles and Kobos, but this is the first time Kobo has offered one itself.

Available in black or white, this accessory will launch for $29.99 in regions including the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, and more on November 4th.
