The Kindle Paperwhite and Kobo Glo are among the first ebook readers to come with built-in frontlights in order to make the E Ink screens readable in the dark and in areas with low lighting.

New Kobo Firmware 2.3 Adds In Book Reading Stats to Kobo eReaders
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.

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 […]

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 […]
