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

What my husband was asking for

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

the packaging was old, and the glass was visibly damaged there is no way to upload books from library if you dont have a computer (doesnt work with chromebooks, ipad, or phone)

This worked great for about a year - then, it stopped syncing with my overdrive account. No big deal, a pain, but ok - so I had to go through Adobe Digital Editions. Worked fine, then the device was no longer recognized as being authorized - so I couldnt read anything. Its ridiculous at Rakuten owns Overdrive & Libby, yet this device failed miserably. Customer service was abysmal as well. Stay away. Id suggest buying a Kindle or another companys e-reader as this one is terrible.

Pretty awesome little ebook reader. I have a Sony one that Ive 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 its 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.
