  • Abstract:  The Kindle Paperwhite , which we reviewed a couple of months ago, is a great way to keep reading when the lights are off. But is it the only way? Despite Amazon's dominance of the eReader market, some competitors manage to keep their heads above water, an...

  • That 265 ppi display blows away other e-reader and most tablets for sharpness; ComfortLight is bright, even and easy on the eyes; 4 GB of internal storage (expandable  using Micro SD cards); text has huge customization options thanks to TypeGenius (with 1
  • There's no getting around the fact that $169.99 is getting up there for an e-reader; the slightly larger display means that some covers and cases meant for 6-inch devices won't fit the Aura HD; the Onyx model in particular was prone to attracting fingerpr

  • Abstract:  I picked up a Kobo eReader Touch a couple years ago and for a long time it was my favorite ebook reader. I then moved to the Kindle Paperwhite and haven't look back, until now.While I own several phones and a couple of tablets, I still prefer to use a ded...

  • Excellent high-res screen, Light evenly distributed on the screen, Comfortable design, Includes browser and games
  • Design doesn't feel premium, Text washes out when light is at full brightness, Light is somewhat harsh, Screen doesn't respond consistently
  • The Kobo Aura HD's high-resolution screen improves the reading experience by making fonts crisp and clear at any size. Unfortunately, the Nook and Kindle E Ink readers already do a pretty good job of this and the Aura's display doesn't surpass them by m...

  • High quality E Ink display, ergonomically and aesthetically pleasing design, broad file types and image types support, fastest Kobo ereader yet
  • Still not as responsive as we'd like, touch commands can be sluggish at times

  • Large, sharp E Ink display, Angled back is comfortable to hold, Bright-white illumination
  • High-resolution display translates to smallish navigational text, Hefty and larger than competing e-readers, Larger display levies major price premium
  • The Aura HD, with a large, sharp monochrome display, is a premium-priced e-reader pick for bookworms who don't care about tablet/app functionality and appreciate ePub compatibility. ...

  • Abstract:  Yet, Kobo lives on — not just surviving, but thriving. The Japanese company's success in the e-reader market can be pinned equally on its strong international presence and its willingness to create a product specifically tuned to the wants and needs of it...

  • No. The Kobo Aura HD has a really nice screen, sure, but everything around that screen just drags it down. From the ergonomically bizarre design to its weight and size, the actual meat of the Aura HD is just not up to snuff. And besides that, pushing an E...

  • High-res screen offers best reading experience, Bright backlight, Gamifies reading, Large 4GB of built-in storage
  • $50 more than the competition, E-books more expensive, Can't share book passages or lend books, Very small periodical selection
  • The Kobo Aura HD offers the most crisp and clear e-reading experience around, but you'll pay a tablet price....

  • Large, sharp screen. Fast page turns. Soothing edge lighting for dark rooms. Excellent font customization options. Informative current progress display. Plenty of storage plus a memory card slot.
  • Thicker and heavier than competing readers, thanks to the larger screen. Hard plastic housing feels a little flimsy. Inconsistent touch response on occasion
  • Kobo strikes gold with the well-designed Aura HD, a premium ebook reader with high-quality edge lighting and a super-sharp display....
