Boox has announced Tappy, a wireless remote designed to turn pages on e-readers. The device also works with other Bluetooth-enabled devices.

Tappy is Boox's latest accessory for its e-reader lineup. The wireless remote connects via Bluetooth and allows users to navigate pages without touching their device. Beyond e-readers, Tappy's Bluetooth compatibility enables use with other devices that support wireless input. This expands its utility beyond Boox's core product ecosystem. The remote addresses a common use case for e-reader users: hands-free page turning while reading in bed or other positions where holding the device becomes cumbersome. For Boox owners, Tappy integrates directly with the company's existing hardware. No pricing or availability details were announced with the initial announcement. Boox has not disclosed specific compatibility details or additional features at this time.
