One of the unique features with the Kobo Aura One is its ability to search for and download library ebooks directly from the Kobo store for free. Other Kobo ebook readers and most ePub ereaders in general require using a computer to download library ebooks and Adobe Digital Editions to transfer them to the reader. […]

Kobo Let Customers Help Design the Kobo Aura One
One interesting detail about the Kobo Aura One that’s easy to overlook is the fact that Kobo let a group of customers help design it. In my opinion the Kobo Aura One is one of the best ebook readers to ever get released, and it’s funny how it just happens to be the one model […]
32GB Kobo Aura One Limited Edition Pre-Orders
Kobo has started accepting pre-orders for their new limited edition Kobo Aura One with 32GB of storage space. Technically pre-orders are only open to Kobo’s VIP members, which costs $10 per year, but it seems anyone can order if you know the secret “VIP access” code.

Now that Amazon has released the 7-inch Kindle Oasis 2, there’s finally a larger Kindle to contend with the 7.8-inch Kobo Aura One. The size of the new Oasis is actually closer to the 6.8-inch Kobo Aura H2O, and I show it briefly at the end of the video review to give an idea of […]

Why Doesn’t Kobo Ever Advertise or Put the Aura One on Sale?
Kobo is the most puzzling company sometimes. It’s as if they have no interest in promoting and marketing their own brand. When’s the last time you saw an ad for a Kobo ereader? It’s probably been awhile, or maybe you’ve never seen one at all. I haven’t seen one for a long time. Sometimes I […]
Why Doesn’t Kobo Offer OverDrive Integration on All Kobo eReaders?
Last September Kobo released the Kobo Aura One. Aside from the 7.8-inch E Ink screen with adjustable frontlight color, the other main new feature was the addition of built-in OverDrive support to download library ebooks for free directly to the reader. Nearly one year later, the Aura One is still the only Kobo ebook reader […]
Time for More eReaders with 7.8-inch E Ink Screens
Everyone has different opinions and needs when it comes to ebook readers. For some people portability is more important than screen size, and for other people a larger screen is more important than being able to fit the device in a pocket or purse. I’ve owned a lot of ereaders over the years. The smallest […]
