Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of people posting about using an 8BitDo Micro as a remote page turner with Kobo devices, and apparently it’s super easy to setup using the 8BitDo Ultimate Software app and it doesn’t require altering the Kobo software at all. I guess I didn’t know that Kobo’s devices supported Bluetooth […]

Will Kobo Bring Back a Black and White Libra Model in 2025?
When the Kobo Libra Colour was released earlier this year, a lot of people were disappointed by the fact that Kobo didn’t release a Libra with a regular black and white E Ink screen too for those that don’t care about color E Ink. Then when Kobo discontinued the Libra 2 soon after the Libra […]

Replacement Parts for Kobo eReaders Now Available
When Kobo announced the release of their new ereaders back in April, they said replacement parts would be sold for them on the iFixit website, but several months went by and that didn’t happen. Some were starting to question if Kobo was ever going to offer replacement parts like they promised, but now the wait […]

On the surface that might sound like a good thing for security reasons, but it’s not […]
