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.

Yesterday I posted some first impressions of the Kobo Aura One, and by far the most impressive thing about it is the larger screen. I and many others have been hoping for a larger Kindle for the past few years and it never happens. Luckily Kobo isn’t afraid to change things up a bit. I […]
