"It does the job..."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The kobo feels good in the hand thanks to the raised back but it is also a fingerprint magnet and it has looked grubby ever since I pulled it out of it's packaging. The screen is adequate and tends to look a little faded in not so bright light but it does the job.

It's got a noticeable lag which can be annoying when you're in the middle of a particularly good scene and the home button isn't intuitive for me as yet being a sometimes kindle user.

The interface is solid and allows you to manage your library effectively.

Easy to use, small enough to fit in handbag. Excellent product.

Description

The most natural reading experience

Like print on paper, only better! // That's because Kobo Touch is fully equipped with a no-glare 6" Pearl E Ink touchscreen for a print-on-paper reading experience. Because E Ink is actually tiny particles of ink that are mixed in with each pixel on the screen, every word appears sharp and crisp just like a paper book. That's how Kobo Touch puts the focus on reading: no glare, no distractions, just a great reading experience – even in bright sunlight.

Touch, tap, read // Browse your library, look up words, change your fonts, and switch between screens quickly and intuitively with Kobo Touch's highly responsive touchscreen. Reading something with lots of pictures? Zoom in up to 200%, pan around images, or change page orientation with a tap or a swipe. Kobo Touch lets you easily create your ideal reading experience with the touch of your fingertip.

Flip pages your way // SimpleTurn makes it easy to flip pages and jump between chapters. A simple tap or swipe lets you devour your eBooks as quickly as you want. Tap right to advance, left to return, or switch to your preferred set up. You can customize your page-turn style as easily as you choose your own font level for a more personal reading experience.

Play with your fonts // Kobo Touch lets you create you own ideal reading experience, because it's fully customizable. TypeGenius lets you choose from 10 font styles and 24 font sizes, including Kobo's exclusive new font. It was expertly designed to leave more ink on the screen so words crisper and sharper than ever before.
