Kobo eReader Touch Edition [Hands-on][HD]

[barryaris]

Is that Lisa from MobileTechReview I can hear in the background?

I purchased my Kobo Touch Friday 27th January 2012 and love it. the Kobo works seamlessy with Ubuntu as well which is an even bigger plus as the Kindle keeps crashing when exposed to Linux even though the Kindle OS is Linux, but that is more to do with the Kindle being trapped into Amazon like Apple products are with itunes. The Kobo is much more open with no restrictions.

Fast page changes and non existent ghosting.

why is how to trick people into think you're good looking in the related videos section?

I have problems highlighted as everytime I try holding a certain word the dictionary comes up but not the highlight.

Anyone else get a kobo touch with a grey colored screen?I think I need to take mine back for an exchange.

That's the fastest eink reader I've seen. Sort of regret jumping on the Kindle 3 boat so early. I though the screen had refresh rate limitations. If it's only limited by the processor I wonder why Kindle's processor is so slow. Processors are are very cheap these days.

..I hate my sony ereader 350..its confusing and slow no wifi and its very confusing to download :( which has to be done on a computer :( so i am getting this one today:)

PDF scrolling is definitely a big plus, but what I don't like is 6". I read mostly PDF, technical PDF with specifications and source code and doesn't look good on Kindle. I can't convert all of the books to MOBI format, because some of the books end up terribly formatted. I would like to see 9.7" Kobo eReader Touch version, that should do the trick. Maybe even with E Ink Triton ?

Seems to handle pdfs much better than the competition.

Man, this guy just pisses me off. Mehbe, because I own a sony prs-650. He's spreading TOTALLY WRONG INFO. Sony stopped using the over layer on their touch screens since LAST SUMMER OF 2010, when they unveiled the sony prs-650. It's false marketing, or horrible review. It's a key/core feature, and just bad to say compared to dimensions. PPll......

does this have a webbrowser like the kindle 3 wifi?

[slappy76]

Wow the PDF scrolling looks good. I think the new Nook looks a little more responsive to touch and seems to flash slightly less during regular page turns. I'd like to see someone do a head to head to of these 2 very similar units.

[Dar70]

@slappy76 Yeah the nook has the blackflashing every six page turns. The kobo does it the standard every page turn. BUT they both look to have the same page turn speed.

To borrow books from the public library ... must support ePUB format and Kobo does... (not Kindle). I love my local library and I also buy books so Kobo all the way!

[mrtechboy2000]

GO KOBO i just ordered a kobo wireless. Now I'm returning it for a kobo touck

[Griwhoolda]

Do you know what the dimensions are for this device? Is it the same size as the Kobo WiFi? (It looks like there *might* be a depth difference.

[yankeerose7]

Does it come with a USB port to download your saved ebooks?

Personal opinion: Kindle OR Kobo?

[stewacide]

@SkyHiRider Kindle has 3G (optional) and text-to-speech. Kobo has touch and is more open (can buy from multiple stores, borrow from library). For my money I'd go with the Kobo.
