I have the Kobo GLO already more than 2 years, but I'm not really satisfied with the device. I had previously a normal Kindle I got for my birthday. But since I do not all the books I wanted to read, got Amazon and not only this store was about to throw my money into the throat, I have decided after a long search for the Kobo GLO. The advantage of Kobo against the normal Kindle is clearly the lighting because I read a lot at night in bed is of course important. For the Kindle I bought the shell with the fold-out light, but the indirect lighting of Kobos is a much better. However, the lighting on the lowest level of 1% is still too bright. This hides at night and should still be further dimmed. But that it has also been with the advantages over the Kindle. Operation via the touch interface is totally inadequate. The turning the pages is the normal book still okay. By tapping the right side to the front, the left back. But if you're there in the shop and there would browse, it's a disaster. Since the links go to the edge, you will find no place where one can flip. Constantly you end up in a book presentation page. How pleasant it is there to click through to the haptic keys of Kindles by the elaborate and class constructed Shop Amazon. Shop! Here we go to the next topic. That's not bad at Kobo solved ... no, that's underground! It might be good if you can select categories, but at some point it's time well with the sub-categories. You do not even know where to look even more. And then another language! If a German search term is entered, only German books should appear. But no, in many search terms appear motley mess German and English books. That's a No. When I once bought a book in another shop, I had to first of all deal with this unspeakable Adobe and part load with Calibre on the Reader. Prompt did not work, the book could not be opened. On my inquiry the seller was told that this would be a Epup3 version and therefore can lead to problems. When I called Kobo I came once out in Canada and had a service technician tuned the terribly bad spoke German and I probably did not really understand. After much back and forth, it came down to the fact that the Kobo has been restored to its original state again and I could see where I had the books on herbekam again. Since then I had the Kobo adjusted so that it goes out after 20 minutes automatically if there is no activity. This works but not for months. When the device goes into sleep mode, it can only be activated via the reset button again. Every now and then he stays sometimes like to hang and can be persuaded even on Ressettaste to cooperate. So my next e-reader will probably be a Kindle with integrated lighting. Because everyone wants to play with the great, but it does not even begin to create in this league play along. It really annoys me that I for so a scrap 139, - issued habe.Es but annoys me even more that I had the part not returned. I would advise anyone who wants to easily buy books and do not want a theater with any Adobe stuff getting a Kindle advise to buy. I do not know where all those 5 star reviews came from. Either the people have no comparison or selling votes.
