(The Kobo Clara HD, as with other modern Kobos, also has seamless OverDrive integration some other readers require a third-party software client running on a computer to transfer the files to the ebook reader.)Īmazon’s Kindle Oasis (10th generation) is the most advanced, and the most expensive, e-reader Amazon sells. With the Kindle Paperwhite Kids (and all other Kindles), OverDrive uses Amazon’s storefront, as well as the same wireless delivery you’d expect from a purchase.

All of the ebook readers we tested allow you to use OverDrive to borrow free ebooks from your local library.

Just a few examples include the capability to share purchased books with people on your Amazon Prime account X-Ray, which helps identify notable people and terms in your books the optional Kindle Unlimited service, which gives you on-demand access to a huge catalog of books for a flat rate every month and Amazon Kids+, which provides access to kid’s books, movies, TV shows, and more (a free, one-year subscription is included with the Kindle Paperwhite Kids). The huge collection of services that Amazon and its partners offer is a major reason why we love the Kindle Paperwhite Kids. While all readers allow you to side-load unprotected content, it’s important that they provide easy access to a large library of commercial books.

Library: Ebook readers can’t stand on the strength of their hardware alone.

Other features: While not required, features like waterproofing and Bluetooth audio can make a good e-reader great.In other words, most specs are less important than how good the ebook reader feels in the hand. Battery life and storage: Most of the readers promise battery life somewhere between six and eight weeks (depending on usage) and offer 8 GB or 32 GB of storage.

Six-inch screens are the most common size, as well as the most portable and likely to be pocketable, although newer readers pack larger screens into similarly sized bodies, which is a bonus.

Build quality and size: While most ebook readers are made of plastic, some feel better than others in your hands.

Anything lower will mean less crisp text and images.

Screen quality: We gave preference to devices with a pixel density of 300 dots per inch, the highest available in any ebook reader and what most models offer.

(Unlike tablets such as the iPad, ebook readers use a side-lighting system that provides a glow across the screen, rather than from behind it.) Because this feature is so prevalent, we didn’t test any readers without it.

Built-in lighting: Most e-readers provide their own light for reading in dark environments.

Would never purchase from Kobo again, and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. The only version of mine that is being sold now are refurbished models, which I think screams “faulty product”. Their messages were short and felt extremely robotic and rude as they didn’t even give an employee name in their emails. When I asked about a repair service they said they do not support any repair agent, and again told me they would not replace it (even though I never asked for a replacement). Read more acted Kobo directly regarding the issues and all they did was told me that I wasn’t under warranty, offer me a discounted price on a new one of their products. Both of these issues seem to be common with Kobo as per my research online. The screen flickers white & freezes, and it no longer charges at all whatsoever. I’ve always kept it in its case, it’s not got a single scratch, mark or scuff on it and it’s been very well looked after and looks brand new out of the box but unfortunately it is completely buggered. To give you an idea of how much use it has had, I have 4 books loaded. I bought a Kobo GLO HD in late August of 2016. Purchased in January 2015 at JB Hifi Home.

( A search on the web shows many other people with similar problems.

We are not all computer experts, prepared to spend hours or days figuring out your strange changes to the software.

I am going to give up using my Kindle and go back to the Kobo. App deleted and reinstalled, but no success. Read more s not like my operating system. I have now tried again - can't even open the app on my computer, as it apparently doe. I couldn't figure this out, so stopped using it for about 18 months. First I could not read a downloaded book because apparently the company had decided to store bought books "in the cloud". It worked OK for 3 years, then became unusable. The only trouble I have had was when I took it bushwalking, and the heat seemed to disagree with it (would not switch on). I have had my Kobo for about 5 years now.
