Boox’s quirky page-turning remote won me over

Boox released the Tappy, a new page-turning remote for its e-readers, on March 18, 2024. This device follows the recent launch of the Kobo Remote and offers a distinct design compared to Boox's previous B.T. Remoter. The Tappy aims to provide a more convenient way for users to navigate e-books without physically touching the e-reader's screen, addressing a common user experience challenge with larger devices. Boox, a company known for its e-ink tablets, is expanding its accessory line to enhance the reading experience for its customers. The Tappy's design is described as quirky, suggesting a departure from purely functional aesthetics towards a more engaging user interface. This move by Boox indicates a growing trend in the e-reader market to offer supplementary hardware that improves usability and user satisfaction. The company has not yet disclosed specific pricing or availability details for the Tappy.
