Kobo Aura One
Kobo Aura One is one of the largest eBook readers on the market and the screen measures 7.8-inch. Kobo has managed to preserve a pixel density of 300 dpi even though the size has increased. Hence, it's suitable e-reader if you need a large screen that displays text in a crisp manner.
This device is waterproof like the Aura H2O model and capable of storing 8 GB of content. It's also speedy by employing a 1 GHz processor and 512 MB internal memory.

Kobo Aura One review
Kobo's latest premium device is the phablet of the ereader world. It feels huge in the hand, at least right now – it may be that in five years' time a 7.8-inch screen ereader will be the norm.
Pros:
- Larger
- beautiful screen
- Interesting night time reading idea
- Waterproof design
Cons:
- Hard to hold
- Expensive for some
- Lacking Amazon's store

They say your users are your best engineers and Kobo turned to its most avid readers to ask them what they wanted to see in the next product. The result is the Kobo Aura ONE – an e-reader for true booklovers.
Pros:
- Excellent larger display, natural light feature, water resistant, thin and light
- Expensive
- VERDICT: The Kobo Aura ONE is an e-reader built by and for readers
- It ticks all the boxes when it comes to features, comfort and convenience.

I use -try to use- the product with bol.com in the Netherlands. It can't find books I have bought and paid for, it can't find books that are clearly there. I recommend waiting until their bugs haven been fixed
Pros:
- physical product
Cons:
- software nightmare

Kobo Aura One review
The price might seem off-putting at first (after all, it's possible to get a Kindle for a third of the price, if you're willing to put up with 'special offers', or £70 if you're not) but there's plenty here to justify the expense.

Five Stars
Excellent replacement for obsolete Nook, but battery doesn't last anywhere near as long. Still miss my Sony e-reader!

"Overall satisfied"
USB cable that come with it doesn't work. Gives surge warning on PC! Response quite slow otherwise great purchase. Sleek and bigger screen size definitely a plus

Great eReader
I love reading books, and have wanted to buy a eReader for a long time, but wasn't sure whether I would enjoy it as much as a real book, so one month ago I purchased the KOBO Aura 7.8" eReader, and I am absolutely thrilled with it, no matter what light I am under, the words are crystal clear, and...
