Tolino Launches Flip Remote for Select E‑Readers, Preorders at €30

Compatibility is limited to three recent models, with Bluetooth caveats for phones and tablets.

Overview

  • Deliveries begin in November for the stick-style remote that flips forward or back using two differently sized buttons.
  • Compatibility is limited to Tolino Vision Color, Tolino Shine Color and Tolino Shine 5, with other Tolino models not supported.
  • Tolino warns that third-party e-readers may not function properly and that pairing with iPhones or iPads can disable the on-screen keyboard.
  • Bluetooth connectivity is rated for up to 20 meters, and the device measures 9.96 × 2.21 × 3.00 cm at roughly 50 grams.
  • Power comes from a replaceable AAA battery claimed to last for months, and the box includes a battery and wrist strap with black or white color options and partial use of recycled materials.
