The remote control is a game-changer. I can turn pages without having to tap the screen. It came in very handy when I had an injury to my arm - I could just prop up my Kobo Clara, and use my good hand to click the remote control to turn the page. I liked my remote control so much, I also bought one as a gift for a family member and they love it.

It keeps disconnecting from my libra2. I’ve contacted support multiple times and haven’t gotten help. The most recent interaction told me that they know about it and may or may not fix it in the future. Not impressed.

Its the best! My reading life got so much easier! I love that there are no extra gadgets to make it work. It was a brilliant idea that only another reader could have come up with 😊

I wasn't sure I was going to like this until I got my hands on it. I original bought it so I could be more hands free while holding a sleeping infant, but I find I use it non-stop. On the treadmill, laying in bed with the Kobo propped up on my pillow and my hands all nice and cozy under the covers; while eating a meal and more! I don't think I could go back now.

While I wish this remote had a power button to turn on/off to help save battery on my Kobo and the remote itself, I completely love it otherwise! It is super comfortable and easy to hold; I've used it to comfortably read in varying positions for hours. In the ~2 months I've had it, I haven't had any issues with the connectivity to my Kobo or with the buttons. I like the hand strap so that when I'm moving reading positions or traveling, I can just let it hang from my wrist without worrying it will get buried or hidden. Lastly, I really appreciate that it's made with recycled, ocean-bound plastics and was delivered in recycled paper!

I love this remote so much more than the one i have from amazon. It’s comfortable to hold and very light but my biggest issue is that it periodically disconnects/stops turning the page. Turning the wifi off helps but it still tends to do it and I find my Kobo’s battery drains faster when I’m using it.

Where have you been all my life!! Already an ereader elevated my reading experience to maximize comfort and fun (and I mean being able to read under a blanket or in the dark), now with the remote even my hands can be under the covers! I love it! The only thing missing is a plug to recharge remote instead of relaying on batteries :(

I recently purchased the remote control, and I’m genuinely impressed with the quality. It feels solid, responsive, and well-designed exactly what I’ve come to expect from . In general, their products consistently deliver excellent build quality and a premium user experience. My wife absolutely loves her Libra Colour the display is beautiful, the performance is smooth, and it has completely elevated her reading experience. Overall, we’re very satisfied customers and highly recommend their products to anyone looking for reliability and thoughtful design.
