Great Purchase

The touch KOBO is a great purchase. I've taken this item to the beach, it fits in your coat pocket and the battery lasts forever. Definitely a great purchase. The font adjustment and the quick page turning upgrade makes this a cheap and cheerful item for anyone that loves reading. P.S. used to think hardcovers were the only way to go - not anymore, I don't have to dust rows and rows of books and I don't have to deal with 50lb books anymore. Easy to use as well - for the price of 2 hard covers you can't go wrong!

Great, but the dealbreaker is...

I really like the Kobo and the selection available. However, my first Kobo had a standard-USB cable and this one (the one I bought for my mom)...well, turns out id has a non-standard input jack. So, she goes on vacation, runs out of charge and can charge from her friends computer, right? WRONG. Ebook reader becomes useless for lack of a proper cable. And that, is a deal-breaker and why I will never buy another Kobo until they fix this problem. Oh, and by the way, the Sony eReader has the same design flaw. So, overall, 4/5 but 1/5 for this major design flaw.

Very Impressed

I have owned a number of e-readers, since before they became popular, including several early Sonys, a couple of Kindles, and now, my newest, the Kobo Touch. I thought nothing could rival the Amazon Kindle, but now the Kobo is, hands down, my favourite. It is a beautiful, minimalist design, and extremely lightweight, with incredibly well-designed software. The touch screen is better than my ipad, requiring only a very soft touch to turn pages and access menus. You have your choice of 7 different font styles, not just sizes (Kindle doesn't offer that), and you can even add your own fonts. 5 stars!

Love it!

I cannot express how much I love my kobo. I got it over 4 months ago and have read over 30 books already. My kobo goes everywhere with me, from on the boat to my purse so it is available wheneverI have a free minute. The battery life is amazing, I charge it every couple of weeks and it takes only an hour or so to completely charge. I have downloaded several free books from Kobo but was also amazed at how easy it is to puchase books using a Chapters gift card, either from my computer or directly from the device. The majority of my reading has been library books which is another major advantage of the Kobo. I have not yet had any trouble with my Kobo but realizing that it is a portable electronic device the chance of encountering a problem down the road is probable. Happy Reading!

Touch Kobo

I love my touch screen Kobo! I think this is one of the best gifts I have received to date! Only issues I have are that you can't read while charging and bookmarking your page is something I haven't figured out yet (I've lost my page on a few occasions and it does take a little work to get back to the right page). The touch screen is easy to manipulate, books are easily synced and puchased, it is very lightweight, very little glare on the screen in various lighting. All in all, a very good purchase!!!
