Fragile and bad warranty

I've had this for just over a month now, and I'm really enjoying it. I did a firmware update, via calibre add-ons, which improved the page turning from slight delay to instant, and transfer all books with calibre too (hated the Kobo program).

Excellent device - good to download free e-books from local library and other websites. Works well in all lighting conditions. Very convenient way to read when unable to visit library.

Excellent purchase, I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a great ereader! I wouldnt buy books anymore. The definition is amazing, just as a sheet of paper, the lightning is also easy to set up and you have a great reading experience in day light or at night.

There are plenty of reasons to like Kobo , but the most compelling may be the simple fact that the company isn't Amazon . As chief competitors like Barnes & Noble and Sony have faded or altogether disappeared from the market, the plucky Canadian company (granted, one currently owned by a giant...

Kobo has worked its way through the pack to become the clear competitor to Amazon's dominance in eBook readers. For a long time, Amazon not only had the best range of books and the lowest prices, it also had great hardware at competitive prices - a tough act to follow.

Super-sharp screen; Grippy back; Good battery life;

Kobo store lags behind Amazon; Not all that pretty, is it?; A bit slower than the top Kindles;
