Kobo announced an official remote control for its e-readers, allowing you to turn the page easily even when you don’t have the e-reader to hand.
While it won’t quite allow you to read ebooks hands-free, it will help if you’re trying to read while your hands are otherwise occupied by cooking or cats, or when you just have the e-reader propped up at a distance on a treadmill or coffee table. An included wrist-strap means you can keep the remote to-hand without actually keeping 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, the $29.99 accessory launches in regions including the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, and more on November 4th.
