Kobo Aura - eBook reader - 4 GB - 6(N236-KU-BK-K-EP)

Very easy to use - managed to load all my epubs onto it within minutes. It is a good, simple ereader.

Pretty awesome little ebook reader. I have a Sony one that Ive used for over a decade now but sadly the case was falling apart and it had to be replaced, I could not find a replacement case. The size is great its really easy to hold in your hand. The built in backlight is amazing. Controlling the light can be a little annoying, it basically pops down a slider to adjust the brightness, but interacting the slider is a little unruly. Be careful to buy the correct case, I bought one for an older version and it blocked the power button on the back. The official case was $40 which I think is a little on the expensive side but it does fit perfectly and wakes/sleeps the device when opening and closing which is really nice.

I bought this two years ago, when Covid hit and all the libraries closed down but we could still borrow books electronically, I like having something lightweight to carry on the bus or when traveling. Its also useful to borrow books electronically when Im out of things to read. But recently it started to act erratically (the print on the screen would dissolve, or it would suddenly jump to a completely different part of the book with no apparent reason). Then, when I tried to recharge the battery, nothing happened. I plugged it into the charger for more than a day and it wouldnt charge! I found out that yes, the battery can be replaced but it needs more sophisticated electronics skills than I possess. Im glad that I was able to use it for the time I had it, but I think it should have lasted more than two years! Or at least they should make the battery replaceable., or provide a replacement service. I would not buy one of these again. I dont know if the competition is any better in this respect, however.

Love my Kobo reader. It is small so easy to hold . Reading on it is great

To use this reader you must download adobe digital editions. There are a tonne of people having issues with adobe digital editions. It is really hard to recommend ereaders to people when it is impossible to download books on to them. I have tried all of the tips I have found online and not one has solved my problems. I get alternating messages of the content not being allowed and I have reached my limit of activations. My son spent 2 hours on the phone with kobo this morning and they had no idea how to fix it. Adobe does not have customer support unless you are a paying customer. I will likely be returning my kobo because this seems to be an issue with users for quite a while. Its probably why readers are dying already.

They will not ship it in a orderly time because they want you to purchase a Kindle so they can further lock you into staying on their platform, Ive noticed this for years. The Kobo readers always show ship in 3-4 weeks or theyre unavailable. Either order it from Rakuten or Walmart. Kobo doesnt restrict you to just using PDFs and MOBI files, you can actually use the following Books: EPUB, EPUB3, PDF, and MOBI, and PDF. It supports CBZ and CBR if you read comics. They also allow for expansion storage, which no Kindle does.

I just unboxed my kobo aura and upon opening it, the left part of the page is frozen with a picture of the kobo with a plug. I tried to set it up via computer and still that page was frozen. After 2 minutes of setting it up, the lower half part of the page turned into black and was frozen. I tried turning it off and on and it is still the same. I am a fan of Kobo and I was excited to purchase Aura to replace my Kobo Glo. I am so disappointed with the product and this experience.

Best ereader Ive ever seen or owned. Backlit screen is perfect in the dark and the eink screen is perfectly visible in light as well. Can load ePubs directly via Windows file explorer. Highly recommend this reader.

For Russian readers I would definitely advise it, Cyrillic letters are supported very well, though the language of system is not having Russian on its list. But as far as I can read Russian books clearly, that makes me more than happy. Besides, I am in love with its design, the reader is very thin, light, even though the size of the screen was not as I expected, however, it didnt disappoint me at all. Very fast working, easy in use. Everything delivered in a good condition (both reader and cable).
