I turned on my Kobo Glo yesterday and it informed me there was a new firmware update available so of course I went ahead and installed it. The biggest change that I’ve noticed so far with the new 2.3.1 firmware is that Kobo added a nifty reading stats menu that’s accessible from within Kobo ebooks […]

Kobo Glo Review
Well, it’s finally finished. Here’s the link to my Kobo Glo review. The Kobo Glo has been out for over 2 and a half months now so I guess this review falls into the better late than never category. When a device has been out that long it is really hard to get motivated to […]
Kobo Needs to Make Setting up Their eReaders Simpler
Now that I’ve gone through the process of setting up a Kobo Mini and a Kobo Glo, it’s apparent to me that Kobo needs to completely redo the setup process on their ereaders.

Kobo Glo’s Frontlight is Better Than Kindle Paperwhite’s and GlowLight Nook
As I mentioned last week, I was finally able to order a Kobo Glo from Powell’s Books to review. By the way, Powell’s did a great job of getting it out quickly. I ordered it on November 7th and received a shipping notice the next day, and even with the free shipping option it arrived […]

Kobo Mini Review and Video Walkthrough
The Kobo Glo still isn’t available in the United States yet, although it should start becoming available as soon as this week, but the Kobo Mini has been available from Best Buy for nearly a month now. I picked one up a few weeks ago and have been testing it out. Today I just finished […]
It Doesn’t Look Like I’ll be Reviewing the Kobo Glo Anytime Soon
It seems that whenever Kobo launches a new ereader device, it takes longer for it to become available in the United States than other countries, but this year with the Kobo Glo they are taking it to a whole new level. The Kobo Glo was released at the beginning of October. Right now it is […]
Kobo Glo and Kobo Mini Now Available in Select Regions
Kobo’s latest E Ink ebook readers, the Kobo Glo and Kobo Mini, are now available from certain retailers in Canada and the United Kingdom, and possibly some other European countries will be getting them soon too. Neither of Kobo’s new ereaders have reached the United States yet, however. Best Buy has them listed but they […]
