Kobo Aura 15.24 cm 2nd Edition eBook Reader - Black

Excellent service arrived the day before it was due really happy with the quality and features would highly recommend.

Brill. Better than a kindle any day.

Bought this as a gift. Well the Kobo Glo and the Kobo Aura first edition are both much better than this, but it is still absolutely wonderful and better than a kindle. Why is it better than a kindle? 1. Well, in my experience so far, Kobos last longer. My poor kobo glo has been dropped a few times and still works perfectly, 4 years on. My father's kindle was taken really really good care of, and broke after 2 years. He is very happy with the kobo Aura I gave him to replace it. 2. You can load pretty much any format of book onto it, usually by clicking and dragging, but failing that use the free program Calibre. Kindles are far more limited. 3. You can have multiple press-for-definition dictionaries, so if you are bilingual or learning a language this is the only choice for you. Other than that they are the same product, so if those things don't bother you, flip a coin.

The choice of setting a warmer light that stops the device keeping you awake makes this the best eReader for me.

Still got it.

I have to warn against buying a kobo reader. If you experience any issues, you are out of luck: Their customer service will not be able to help you and have all kinds of excuses. I am now the owner of a Kobo that cannot charge - and Kobo won't help repair or replace. A scary part was the dialogue with Kobo customer service, when they asked where I lived. "Copenhagen, Denmark" I said. She replied "Where in UK is Copenhagen". I repeated "Copenhagen is the capital of in Denmark". She then asked "Is Denmark a city in UK or a region?". "Denmark is a country - your neighbor to the right if you look at a map", I replied patiently. And the geographically skills of the customer service was actually on level with their product knowledge...

I really love the light weight and size. Easy to use and I’m technology challenged

Per chi, come me, ama i libri di carta e le librerie in cui riporli, questo e-reader è stato una piacevolissima scoperta. Lo ha voluto mia figlia per la sua promozione in terza elementare. Mi ci sono avvicinato con interesse, prima per fare un buon acquisto, poi per provarlo; sono stato colpito dalla qualità dei materiali, dall'ergonomica, dal rapporto qualità/prezzo, dalla vasta scelta dei titoli, dalla semplicità di accesso ad essi e dallo stile e dall'intuitivitá dell'interfaccia grafica. Semplice, leggero, compatto, portatile, elegante, personalizzabile, ci ha permesso di portare ovunque, nello spazio di un taccuino, più libri di quanti sarebbe stato possibile in qualsiasi formato cartaceo, senza far percepire la dipendenza da una batteria (guinzaglio per gli uomini nell'era degli smartphone) di lunga durata, grazie alla tecnologia del suo schermo. Grazie a quest'ultimo, leggibilissimo al buio come al sole: come fosse carta... forse meglio. Infine, ciò che ti consente di fare un e-reader non lo può concedere un libro "classico": dizionario integrato, annotazioni a scomparsa (correggibili o eliminabili a posteriori), evidenziazioni, hyperlink a contenuti meta testuali, segnalibro automatico, formattazione dei caratteri e personalizzazione dell'immaginazione, etc etc etc Insomma, due modi assolutamente diversi e reciprocamente insostituibili di leggere gli stessi libri. Un'esperienza da provare per chi ama leggere ovunque ma anche per chi ama i libri di carta... per ciò che sono. 😅

Pretty awesome little ebook reader. I have a Sony one that I've used for over a decade now but sadly the case was falling apart and it had to be replaced, I could not find a replacement case. The size is great it's really easy to hold in your hand. The built in backlight is amazing. Controlling the light can be a little annoying, it basically pops down a slider to adjust the brightness, but interacting the slider is a little unruly. Be careful to buy the correct case, I bought one for an older version and it blocked the power button on the back. The official case was $40 which I think is a little on the expensive side but it does fit perfectly and wakes/sleeps the device when opening and closing which is really nice.

I purchased Kobo aura edition 2 in order to borrow books from an online library and it works perfectly. The backlight is very good; its speed also. I love it.

Toute la famille est équipée d'une liseuse Kobo, idéale pour les déplacements, voyages, vacances, rdv (pour patienter en salle d'attente !), romans étudiés en classe... Nous avons choisi Kobo pour la qualité et le confort de lecture, les écrans sont vraiment très agréables et le rétroéclairage indispensable pour lire en toutes circonstances. Nous apprécions également le choix de Kobo pour un format numérique libre (ePub). La plupart des eBooks du marché sont au format ePub, format ouvert et standard pour les livres numériques. Il existe de plus en plus de librairies en ligne pour ceux qui souhaitent sortir des grands monopoles. De nombreux ouvrages sont gratuits (ceux qui appartiennent désormais au domaine public), pratique pour l'étude de certains romans en classe. Gros lecteurs, nous adorons les livres version papier et continuons d'acheter certains ouvrages que nous souhaitons conserver dans notre bibliothèque, mais au quotidien, la liseuse est très pratique, nous avons près de mille ouvrages et sommes loin de saturer les mémoires des liseuses. Petites et légères, elles se glissent dans un sac, un cartable, voire dans une poche. Ce ne sont pas des objets trop fragiles et bien que gros lecteurs nous ne les rechargeons pas très souvent, environ tous les mois et demi quand le pourcentage de charge atteint les 30%. N'oubliez pas qu'une liseuse est également très pratique pour les personnes ayant des problèmes de vue. Vous pouvez calibrer la police d'écriture, la taille des caractères, l'interligne, les marges, etc. Cela permet de lire un livre écrit gros sans pour autant avoir l'impression de s'entrainer à la musculation chaque fois qu'on prend l'ouvrage en main : la liseuse est toujours aussi légère. De plus Kobo est une marque fiable qui propose des appareils très faciles et rapides à paramétrer et utiliser. Les enfants ont eu leur liseuse à l'âge de 8/10 ans et ont immédiatement compris le fonctionnement très intuitif de ce nouveau livre.
