Excellent HD screen, Solid build quality, Good software
Larger and heavier than the Glo, Not luxurious enough to justify the cost
The Kobo Aura HD has the best screen of any eBook reader on the market, and there is something reassuringly expensive about its overall design and feel. Kobo's software looks great and you can't complain about a lack of features. With several decent eBoo...
Very sharp screen, Bright and even built-in light, Useful reading stats
Costs nearly as much as a tablet, No standby sync
There's so much to like about the Kobo Aura HD. Ignoring price, it is the best ebook reader on the market. But we can't ignore the price. Its current £140 asking price is just a little too dear to earn our recommendation, but should it fall in price – or ...
There's simply no competition for the Kobo Aura HD's touchscreen right now: the e-paper display is 6.8-inches of pure high-def black and white glory, punches in at a super crisp 1440 x 1080, 265dpi resolution that simply blows the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite away. Text and comics have never looked better in black and white, and everything simply just looks crisp.The screen is coupled up with an even
Despite a 1GHz processor under the hood, there were times when we saw the Kobo Aura HD lag. PDF and comic book files pushed the processor to a page-turning halt, with a few seconds to wait after pressing the touchscreen. Regular epub books were quite nippy, but the screen sometimes needed an extra prod to turn the page.The key stumbling block is the price: you're paying an extra premium for the g
The Kobo Aura HD is a bright, crisp and luxurious e-reader, but its price tag lets it down. There's a few nifty - yet meaningless - features on-board, such as social sharing and rewards for reading, but if you’ve got cash to splash and you can look pas...

Crisp HD screen makes reading a pleasure, It feels like an expensive device and it's built ergonomically, It has an impressive 2 month battery life on a single charge
The touchscreen doesn't feel that responsive, Flicking between screens can feel a bit sluggish, It comes with a hefty, £139.99, price tag
If you're happy to buy into the idea that this is the ereader for more sophisticated book worm, then this is the device for you.You'll be able to do some good peacocking on public transport because the device is visually very attractive. There's no doubt...
Excellent screen, Fast; good battery life, Simple operation
Relatively thick
Kobo's new hero e-reader has an excellent E-Ink screen, and has the best specifications of any e-reader on the market at the moment. It's slightly thicker than its competitors, but that's really the only down-side to what is an excellent device for readin...
