Some people were wondering how the Kobo Aura One with KOReader compares with the Sony DPT-RP1 when it comes to reading PDFs. KOReader helps enhance the Aura One by adding more features for PDFs than the stock software offers, but it can’t do much to make up for the smaller screen size. The 7.8-inch screen […]

Kobo Aura One KOReader PDF Review (Video)
I finally got around to installing KOReader on the Kobo Aura One over the weekend, and it didn’t take long to realize that it’s a major improvement over the stock software when it comes to reading PDFs. Kobo’s PDF software is so slow and lackluster that I honestly can’t think of an ereader that is […]
KOReader on Kobo Aura One Looks Interesting for PDFs (Video)
I came across a video on YouTube that shows an example of KOReader running on the Kobo Aura One. It’s the first video I’ve ever seen that actually shows KOReader, an alternative open-source reading app, on a Kobo ereader. I tried installing it on a Kobo Touch once but it wouldn’t work so I didn’t […]
Kobo Aura One vs Fire HD 8 Reading Comparison (Video)
I’ve been using the Kobo Aura One since it first came out last September, and then when I got the new Fire HD 8 earlier this month I was surprised by how much heavier and thicker it is than the Aura One. Both are essentially 8-inch devices so I guess I wasn’t expecting such a […]

Kobo Aura One vs Kobo Aura H2O Edition 2 Comparison Review (Video)
The second generation Kobo Aura H2O was released this past week, so let’s go ahead and see how it compares to the larger Kobo Aura One that was released last fall. As mentioned yesterday in the Kobo Aura H2O first impressions review, I feel like the Aura One is the far superior device, with a […]
Kobo Aura One Finally Loses Limited Stock Designation
It looks like Kobo has finally gotten their supply issues worked out with the Kobo Aura One. Ever since it was first released last September Kobo has only had it available for short periods of time before selling out again. For the past few months it’s been available off and on with “limited stock” each […]
Kobo Aura One Back In Stock, But for How Long?
The Kobo Aura One is back in stock again from Kobo’s website. The US store, UK store, and Canadian store all show a limited quantity back in stock. It remains to be seen how long the “limited quantity” will last. Hopefully they have enough to stay in stock for longer than a day or two […]
