Advantages of KoboGlo:
- The Kobo Glo is compared to the competition with the same screen size is the smallest and lightest.
- The device is a flatterer and top to use.
- With lighting on the lowest setting can be good and easy on the eyes to read even in the dark, as eyeglass wearers!
- One can, unlike many competitors also insert a memory card (which is convenient, since you can store hundreds of books, but at the expense of clarity). It is easier to "Calibre" aufzuspielen an external management program for example is.
-The Software is compliant, you can page margins, font sizes adjust intuitively etc. in Kobo.
- It is not bound to any eBook provider and, after installing Adobe DRM play everything (except K ...- books)
Disadvantages:
- The velvet case (black version) works by fingerprints quickly "greasy" that bothers (me) but not really. (Excluding the applied in extradition protective film on the display, the fingerprints of the display can be easily wiped off with a cotton cloth / duster.)
- The device sometimes hangs (rarely) on. However, I have similar data loss found after switching off and on again, it will operate normally.
Neutral:
- Unlike some devices, the competition is doing to the Kobo without registration at producer nothing! Without Registrerung / application, no books can be loaded on the Kobo. If you have logged in, however, the device, you also get firmware updates (compared Zurm K ... more!) Offered and installed
Despite registration forced one is not bound to Kobo as a supplier. You can then buy anywhere (except K ...- books) and "push" the books directly to the Kobo. Since you have to register because of DRM protection anyway,
I assess personally the compulsory registration Although unnecessary, due to the numerous updates but overall "neutral".
- About the Kobo software and data stored on the Kobo Books Kobo secured. This prevents human error, but it's Kobo nothing to what I read. One can avoid this but for example, if you complete before a firmware update will delete the Kobo and then strikes up the books again.
As the competition has similar functions, the quasi mitkauft normal users and sometimes even welcomed, I regard this also neutral.
Overall, I am more than satisfied with the KoboGlo and would not want him swap. The prospects I definitely recommend to take the various appliances times in the hand and try. I'm actually convinced K ...- users have been handling the KoboGlo has but then moved me to change.
