FWIW, we bought an arm to hold the kobo up while we’re reading (one of those smartphone holder things, they’re a dime a dozen) and a little device that clips onto the kobo. It comes with a remote, and you can turn the pages with it by making the kobo think you’ve touched the display with your finger. Best 50$ I ever spent (arm + clicker). Now I can turn pages while in bed without holding the kobo and with both hands under the cover. It’s the little things :)

I can’t remember :( the arm is a generic phone holder arm with a spring loaded clamp that pushes down the top and bottom of the device.

The page turner was one of these keyboard smash brands. Searching for “ebook wireless page turner” yields quite a few results.
