2025. Kobo firmware update adds support for Kobo Remote



Kobo has released new firmware for the new Kobo Libra Color, Kobo Clara Color and Kobo Clara BW models, as well as the first-generation Elipsa. This firmware adds support for the new Kobo Remote Page Turner feature - the remote control device for turning pages that Kobo will release later this year. If you're unsure how to use a remote control for an e-reader, take a look at the image. Such remotes from Chinese manufacturers have been around for a while, but they're unreliable and require constant reconnection. The update also adds a new Bluetooth settings icon to the top of the status bar for easy access (since the remote works via Bluetooth).
