On the bottom is the micro-USB port for charging and some basic device information. It has a textured plastic back with an easy-to-find power button located on the upper right of the backside of the device (if the screen is facing you). Let’s start with the design of the Kobo Aura (Edition 2), which is the smaller of the two devices, and the most comparable to the Amazon’s Kindle. I decided to combine these reviews because these two Kobo devices both have upsides and downsides - and if you combined the two, they would be one killer device that would give the Kindle a run (more on this later). It’s a review of the biggest competitors Kindle has: the Kobo Aura & Aura One. I still liked it (except for that one sewer part, which I’m sure you all know about by now), but this isn’t a book review. So I own a Kindle Paperwhite and got 5-10 minutes of reading done at night. That’s a 1000+ page book that would have been impossible to lug around in addition to all that other stuff. I just finished reading Stephen King’s IT for the first time. I truly am happy with my decision.Why don’t I read hard copies anymore? Because I have to carry so many other things, including by not limited to: toy trains, diapers, water cups, snacks, dry clothes, and more.
Kobo h2o reviews software#
I have not had any software issues as well. It is also a great choice for me because it works amazingly with my library. I have not found that it has been damaged in any way after 6 months. It holds up really well to my daily needs and movements.
I feel like this is more of an adjustment than a con though.įor me personally this was a great choice, I have a great device physically. Thankfully, after the first time and I had everything set up I was good to go. It took me a bit of time to actually figure it out the first time, longer than I would expect to find the information. I was really bummed to read this because I love supporting indie authors.Īnother con is while this ereader does work with netgalley, it is a few extra steps. If an author uses amazon to self publish they sign a contract where the ebook is only able to be on their platform. If you want to read self published books, chances are you will not be able to get them on kobo. But, having that ability is great in my option. You do need to buy the book first and then get a refund though.
Kobo h2o reviews plus#
Lastly, if you do like finding ebook deals kobo has them as well as other ebook dealers, but they also have Price Match where you can submit to have a refund of the difference plus 10% of the competitors price at the time of writing this.
I thought they would be flimsy, but they work great. The buttons on the device as well exceeded my expectations. I have previously had a kindle and I had to be so careful with the screen and even then spots would show up. There is no light bleeding or spots that don’t go away. I have carried this device in my backpack, purse, and thrown it in my backseat. I can request books at the library and borrow immediately from my Kobo when it is connected to wifi. Thankfully, it is as seamless as Kobo made it seem. I don’t buy many ebooks because I don’t think the pricing is that great over all, so working with my library was one of the main selling points for this eReader. I really love how easily this works with my library. Picture of eReader and pillow on chair that says “If you were in my novel I would have killed you off by now”.
