Not really as that excludes postage and a decent BT Mouse is €12 in a local shop. It's smaller than average and presumably the 2 buttons, wheel button and wheel could work with a suitable script on the Kobo.

This is a lot less hardware. £8 would be reasonable.

I could see myself buying it if were to ever go on sale, honestly. Would be helpful when I read on the treadmill--trying to reach up and touch the screen while walking is very failure-prone.

Remotes are useful if you mount or prop up your reader. They are not useful if you only hold your reader.

Also useful for some disabled people. If this had been available, I maybe have gone for different model than Libra H2O, I chose for page turn buttons.

I'm wondering how the image appeared in my first post.

It also helps those with arthritis. My wife has problems with touch screens because her fingers curve down. She hits the screens with the nail and the very tip of her fingers.
