BOOX LAUNCHES TAPPY, A TWO-BUTTON BLUETOOTH REMOTE

The Tappy functions as a compact alternative to Kobo's page-turning remote, with two buttons that handle multiple tasks. While designed for Boox hardware, it connects via Bluetooth to various devices. Beyond standard page navigation, Tappy enables vertical scrolling in browsers and social media apps, plus audio track skipping for music and audiobook playback. The dual-button design prioritizes simplicity over complexity, appealing to users seeking distraction-free reading experiences. Boox positions the device as a productivity accessory for its growing ecosystem of e-ink tablets and readers. The $25.99 price point undercuts specialized alternatives while maintaining accessibility. The remote is available through Boox's official online store and Amazon, with immediate availability for early adopters interested in wireless control beyond traditional e-reader interactions.
