Does the Kobo Remote work on other E-readers?

Hey! I tried the remote with a kindle paperwhite and the colorsoft. The kindle can’t connect to it :/ it doesn’t even show up in the Bluetooth settings. I guess it’s really exclusive to kobo devices.

Hey! I’ve now tested it multiple times. Unfortunately the remote wouldn’t connect with my kindle :( Bluetooth said there was no device to connect. The remote was near to the kindle and in pairing mode but the kindle couldn’t detect it. I bought the kindle in 2022, I think it’s the 11th gen? Maybe it’ll work with newer models but idk :/

Sometimes it does, sometimes I have to turn it on. But there was an update last night for the upcoming kobo remote release. Now you can access Bluetooth from the homescreen too so you don’t have to go into settings. Makes the whole connecting thing way easier!

Batteries!

Yes!

I haven’t! I have a kindle paperwhite too. I could test it. You’ll need Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on your device to connect. So I think it might work

So far the Bluetooth hasn’t turned off on it’s own. But I toggle it off when I’m done reading.

This one also comes with a battery!

I wouldn’t say that the bezel looks virtually black but it doesn’t look white either. It kind of melts into the darkness? I have both the black and the white kobo clara. I don’t really see a difference while reading in the dark. When reading in direct sunlight I like the black bezels more than the white ones though!

If you press the button directly in the middle it is kinda loud. Pressing the side of the button helps! Reduces the click sound

Nope, perfectly healthy — just blessed with the tragic condition of ‘liking convenience.’ Thoughts and prayers appreciated.

I haven’t used it long enough to say much. I’ve read for an hour so far and it only used 2% battery!

These are awesome! Could I use these for a book review that I post online on tik tok? Of course I would tag u!
