Reading just got a lot more relaxing. Rakuten Kobo has announced the launch of the Kobo Remote, an ergonomically designed wireless page turner built to make digital reading completely hands-free. Available online and in stores from 4 November 2025, the Kobo Remote promises to enhance comfort, convenience, and immersion for eBook lovers everywhere.
Designed for Effortless Reading
As Kobo’s first-ever wireless remote page turner, the Kobo Remote connects seamlessly with all Kobo Bluetooth®-enabled eReaders. Readers can now lounge deeper on the couch, flip pages while cooking, or read under a cosy blanket — all without lifting a finger.
Available in Black and White, the lightweight remote features a long-lasting battery and an intuitive button layout, ensuring a smooth and natural reading experience for hours on end.
“Reading Without Limits”
Michael Tamblyn, CEO of Rakuten Kobo, described the new accessory as a breakthrough for comfort-driven reading: “The Kobo Remote is the perfect accessory for peak immersive reading; it’s an invitation to lounge deeper, multitask smarter and simply enjoy reading without limits, no matter whether your environment is beach or blankets,” he said.
Availability and Pricing
The Kobo Remote will retail at SGD 49.90 and will be available both in stores and online from 4 November 2025.
It’s expected to become a popular holiday gift for Kobo readers, combining thoughtful design with everyday practicality.
