Also very bad form to release a device before software support is deployed, especially in this case where the only thing missing should be a bluetooth HID kernel module, which could have been silently done years ago.

Pretty sure the Kobo remote uses a AAA battery, everything I've seen so far says that.


Also they have released the firmware to support it, and it's not officially available yet so...

Only for some models, not all the models they list on the remote's web page!

Even less excuse for hard to open cover, though those also now exist.

Sadly most of the devices I have that use a screw to secure the battery cover just use the device's plastic to hold the screw. After removing and replacing the screw a couple of times, it can be removed with a fingernail or just by tapping the device on a hard surface.

I really hate that. Every time you remove the screw you see how much plastic it took with it.

Since I got my new (to me) 3D printer I print plastic enclosures for all my little electronic projects.
I put in heat-set brass thread inserts with a soldering iron.
It's a joy to be able open these up without considering how much lifespan I'm using up.
M3 3 mm screws are my "go-to".
I should pick up some smaller sizes for commercial things that I own.
