Yes, it could work with the Nova Pro. Thank you for your support to Onyx Boox.

You could directly order one from Booxshop now and we will directly ship to Europe.

25 + 13 of shipping, plus customs (20fixed + 21%), too much, unless you ship it from europe, there is no chance to pay almost 70 for this when a generic bluetooth does the same but the refresh screen thing and cost under 10.

If it's express shipping, VAT and taxes are guaranteed. The most outrageous is the fee from the courier company. That's why I did not buy my ereader directly from Boox.
You're right, it's not worth it to order in Europe this remote if it's not shipped from Europe.

Onyx Boox · 07-04-2019, 05:31 AM

Dear users, fully understand that. We will try our best to make the remoter available in Europe in the near future.

Even the $38-whatever I spent to get it in the US is a bit pricey, but I'm really looking forward to it.

I want it.

bit101 · 07-19-2019, 06:08 PM

I ordered this device the day it was announced. Took a couple weeks to ship to the US from China. It functions pretty well, but one really annoying thing I've found so far is that as soon as you turn the ereader (Nova Pro) screen off, it kills the Bluetooth connection to the remote. Then I have to go back into Bluetooth settings and reconnect it. I have not found a way around this. I can just turn off the screen and turn it back on and the connection is lost and it will not automatically reconnect.

The directions are in really poor English, but seem to say that once it is paired with the ereader, just pressing a button on the remote will establish a connection. I am not finding this to be the case. It does not reconnect until I go into settings and manually reconnect it.

If I have to manually connect it every time the screen goes off, then this device causes more hassle than benefit. I'm hoping that I'm just doing something wrong, and I'll keep trying things.

There are some android apps that keep bluetooth always on. Not sure if they would help in this case, but I don't have that problem with the remote that I use and I have Bluetooth Always On activated on a Nova Pro.
