I have the kobo glo brought me as lighted addition to my Kindle, because I always need light in my "old" and has evening then always bothered it in bed with lamp, reading light, etc. The reading light holds either not or makes the reader unnecessarily difficult , the lamp in bed disturbs my husband falling asleep. I thought I am trying times this eBook reader, because he had for me a few pro-points more than other comparable reader.
Here is my evaluation after 4 months use:
positive:
- It can read many formats, EPUB especially and mobilization, which was very important to me
- Shop not bound, I can buy all my ebooks
- You can expand the internal memory with a micro SD
- The lighting is uniform, pleasantly and individually dimmable
- He holds a long time the battery had last week, for example, 6 books (a 350-400 pages each) read with lighting and it is still at 53% battery
- You can adjust the sheets individually (eg left browse for before and right for back or vice versa)
- Font size, line spacing, etc., you can set everything as you want it
- With a matching envelope with Wake function, one must not be big to turn on or off care (I have this here:)
- You can - if you use the function, wireless charge - to record his reading statistics
- Super handy and lighter than a book - even with cover - fits in my handbag
negative:
- If you filled the microSD card on the PC, the Kobo needs after a long time to update and has initially about 4 times hung with me, then I had always reseten him because nothing else helps, best ever on the PC cable load books on Kobo, since the last firmware update This is better
- You can use a large memory card, but I realized the more is on the reader it is, the slower and clumsier he reacts
- Sometimes you have to tap 3 times, so he scrolls, sometimes it scrolls when you come only with a hair on it
- On the black, ribbed surface one sees unfortunately every fingerprint
- The search for a book is not quite optimal, here I have often been to try different spellings have
- The Kobo software on the PC is a little sluggish in sync, I find it a cable to transfer books not optimal.
My Conclusion:
Despite some compromises I find the kobo glo super convenient, it is my favorite reader and follow me on any path. From my 4 stars.
