Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I wasn’t sure how much I’d use the remote. It works so well I’m using it a lot. I prop my Kobo on a cushion to raise it to a comfortable level and use the remote to turn pages. It’s super comfortable and helps with posture and shoulder tension.

Nice to not have to take my hands out of the covers to turn the page.

This remote is awful. It shuts off if you take too long to read a page, it breaks the blue tooth connection. I understand that they are trying to do a good thing by shutting it down so you aren't wasting the battery but they could give you a little more time. Maybe I'm just a slow reader, but it would be a great product if they gave you a minute or two more time and that wouldn't be that much of a battery waste.

You can't beat this device. Life is easier and just the fact that I no longer need to hold my reader, makes it a fantastic way to read.

Works seamlessly with my Kobo Clara. I love that this doesn’t require anything to be clipped onto the screen

The remote is really good. It's easy to set up, and easy to use. My only complaint is how much quicker it uses the battery. I expected it to use more than power than not having it connected, but the rate the battery drains is much faster than I anticipated.

Connection to my Kobo reading device is spotty. However the connection works very well with my Android tablet so I'm pairing the Remote to it instead to turn the pages on the Kindle app.

If I didn’t catch the sale, I wouldn’t have purchased. I was trying to be patient and wait for the sale before buying one from somewhere else… I think that it’s convenient for relaxing.

Easy to set up and I love the fact that it moves forward AND backwards, and no awkward clip on the device. Love love love

Bluetooth is constantly running unless I turn it off and my device now automatically turns on wifi every time it wakes up. This is a major battery drain for the ereader. Wish the remote was rechargable rather than use a AAA battery. it would be nice if the remote had an on/off switch.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

It works well about 90% of the time. Sometimes it doesn't register that you've pressed the page-turn button, even when it's on and just worked seconds ago in the same location. It's mildly frustrating but usually will work if you press again harder and/or move the remote to a different position from the e-reader.

Game changer. I have a KLC and BOOX ereaders and this remote works for both devices! The connection via Bluetooth is easy for both brands and both front and back page turn buttons work flawlessly on both. And no need for a clunky second device to be clicked to the screen!
