OK, the screen layout when using the internet is a bit of getting used to, it jerky and shows in and fades out. But that's not the main purpose of a eBook reader. or? In any case, you can get anywhere where an open or well-known WLAN exists on the net. Had I wanted more, I would have bought myself the currently probably best tablet: the Sony Xperia. But the thing is three to four times as expensive and also three to four times as heavy.
Come into the house is me the Kobo Glo, after I had to pay for excess baggage while ago on a trip to Asia times around the 100.00 USD. No wonder, with a trolley full of books ... a much more expensive Sony Reader, the Kindle Paperwhite Tolino and I have seen more than intense. Although Kindle Paperwhite is also top notch, but the binding to Amazon for the purchase of books has not promised me. The Tolino is certainly not bad, but quite tough in the screen layout.
And the Glo: more than an optimal compromise, the device is simply mind-boggling.
What could be improved? A UMTS access would be something nice. But no 'must-have' but just a 'nice to have'.
>>> Addendum 1: Who has a smartphone with tethering feature, comes wherever a wireless network is available on the Internet. Although the "integrated in Kobo under the main menu item 'Extras browser works with very ruckeligem, flickering screen layout. But the complete access on the net is then via mobile just as possible as a WLAN. For looking up an unknown concept, which does not at integrated lexicon find is example. in Wikipedia or to retrieve / write e-mail through a mail account with WEB.DE, GMX, Freenet or whatever they're called hands it all.
>> Addendum 2: in Sync between the Kobo Glo and installed on the computer Kobo software and the operating system of the Glo seems to be regularly ge'updated 'in the background. Anyway, now for the input of internet addresses so often used point (".") To find in the first level of the German keyboard. The annoying back and forth switch between Level 1 and Level 2, only to come to the point, has become obsolete.
(?) - -: >> Addendum 3 under the slightly longer keyword "Black magnetic closure Leather Protective Carrying Case Pouch Leather Case with sleep mode for eReader eBook Kobo Glo" a leather is here at Amazon Cover offered that delivers what it promises. If the door is closed, the Glo immediately goes into sleep mode. Folding is the book the envelope before reaching the defined switch-off back to is, once again, on the reading was interrupted. Excellent.
And the faint rustle when turning, the smell of books, which I miss very. But for travel and reading the evening and night in bed - the hit.
