The 7.8-inch screen on the Kobo Aura One makes it better suited for larger-form content like comics and manga than the more common 6-inch ereaders. The 7.8-inch 300 ppi E Ink screen does indeed look great for text and graphics when it comes to comics and manga. Text is sharp and easy to read and […]

Kobo Aura Edition 2 is Going to Be a Total Flop
I’ve been spending most of the time using the new 7.8-inch Kobo Aura One lately, but Kobo also has another new ereader called the Kobo Aura Edition 2. It has a 6-inch E Ink screen and it uses an older version for some reason with lower resolution. Most newer ereaders have 300 ppi screens, but […]

Last year I posted […]
Built-in OverDrive Support Exclusive to Kobo Aura One?
When Kobo’s parent company, Rakuten, purchased OverDrive last year it seemed like an obvious move for them to add OverDrive support directly to Kobo ereaders like Sony used to have on their ebook readers before they quit making them. After a year and a half of waiting, built-in OverDrive support has finally come to fruition […]
