Kobo Aura - eBook reader - 4 GB - 6(N236-KU-BK-K-EP)

This does everything Ive wanted in an e-reader. :)

Everything

Reads almost all file types; just not ported into Amazon bookstore. But that’s what I have a Kindle for.

Todo sin problemas

Super annoying to deal with, go with a better e reader. Tried to get with the overdrive functionality which didnt even work.

I found this very difficult as there was no users manual included. On line, yes PDF. Keyboard super sensitive, and no obvious way to delete unwanted characters. Getting the Reader connected brought me to the Kobu site and I could not find a way to get to my Bellingham Library site. I do not want to purchase, just download eBooks from our local library. A very frustrating afternoon of not any success.

Very easy to use - managed to load all my epubs onto it within minutes. It is a good, simple ereader.

I love the Kobo Aura so much I bought this to replace an older unit that was having issues. The small defect with this Aura is the bottom lights shine up through a small gap and four cast shadows along the bottom of the screen. It nearly drove me crazy at first but now its just a minor inconvenience. Its a quality issue, this unit should not have been sold in the condition it is. I will keep it as I read everyday and cant be without it. I will however consider a different brand when replacing this unit. Thanks

Best ereader Ive ever seen or owned. Backlit screen is perfect in the dark and the eink screen is perfectly visible in light as well. Can load ePubs directly via Windows file explorer. Highly recommend this reader.

The main reason to buy the Kobo Aura is its versatility, since it functions w/both .epub and .mobi file formats (for some reason Amazon still refuses to incorporate .epub support for Kindle). Unfortunately, it is definitely slower than Kindle paperwhite, and the screen isnt as responsive (swiping down ends up as a click in 1/2 of the time). In addition, shopping for books is harder as the Kobo store pretty much sucks. If youre okay with these 2 shortcomings, this is the basic e-reader to get if you already have dozens of .epubs you cant read on your Kindle. (I say this having owned a Nook glowlight which was cheaply made and had a terrible UI).
