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...

Schermo HD Pearl Eink, ampia autonomia, retroilluminazione efficace e non stanca la vista
Confezione essenziale, touchscreen a infrarossi
Il Kobo Aura HD è, indubbiamente, uno dei migliori eReader presenti sul mercato, almeno per quanto concerne lo schermo. Forse, con qualche formato, le prestazioni non sono al massimo livello, pensiamo in particolare ai PDF, ma nel complesso si è comportat...
Kobo Aura HD ha la migliore illuminazione possibile sul miglior schermo di sempre, piacevole e godibilissimo per leggere, ma il software ha alcuni difetti che alla lunga possono annoiare e la qualità costruttiva non giustifica un prezzo sopra la media. C...
Ingebouwde verlichting is fantastisch, Groot, scherp beeldscherm, Gebruiksvriendelijk, Accepteert veel formaten, Ook grote PDF bestanden werken goed, Toegevoegde features zijn prima

De Kobo Aura HD heeft een gigantisch positieve indruk achtergelaten. De eReader heeft een groot en mooi beeldscherm met ingebouwde verlichting die nog energiezuinig is ook. De bediening is erg gebruiksvriendelijk en Kobo heeft zelfs rekening gehouden met...
