I love this e-reader. The portability is awesome for my commutes to work and home, the battery lasts weeks, I read books for free using Overdrive. The small features are neat too. I like that I can change the brightness with a swipe, see my reading progress, and I like how it simply shows the book cover, no ads. It’s definitely worth it if you commute and want to save money and space on physical books

I have used Kindle readers for quite some time, and decided to try something different since the reviews were so good, and I'm not disappointed. This reader is far snappier than any of the Kindle's I've had over the years. Compared to my current Kindle (2020 Sage Paperwhite) this is miles ahead - fast page turns, super-fast downloads, much less cluttered interface, good battery life, and better power button location. Clearly, a 4-year-old Kindle (even a Paperwhite) is not a fair comparison, but given the unattractive color options for the currently available Paperwhite (the new models have just been released - metalic finish likely to scratch easily) I thought the time was right to experiment, and I have no regrets what-so-ever. I like the light-weight and the much lower cost (129 USD v.s. 200 USD for a Paperwhite) This weighs significantly less than my 2020 Paperwhite and has the same display size. The only thing this lacks is the inability to access Amazon ebooks, but given that almost all publishers set their selling prices, you can get the same books from Kobo at the same prices (except those published by Amazon) No issues with library connection, no issues with side-loading books from my library (expect for those I bought from Amazon), and a much cleaner user interface. If you have a massive Amazon ebook library, this may not be the best option for you. Some publishers do specify no DRM, which allows you to read on whatever device you prefer rather than being locked into the seller's system) but if you borrow from the library regularly or obtain ebooks from a variety to sellers and not just Amazon, this is worth a try. It's like a standard Kindle with much better features at the same price. I'm considering replacing my 2020 Paperwhite with a standard Kindle, since those at least come in a color that I would not be embarrassed to use in public, but only because the speed and weight of this reader are so much better that it makes me sad to go back to the old Paperwhite to read books that are locked into Amazon's system.

The display is crisp, brightness is easy to adjust, and has super easy integration with OverDrive to loan library books! I definitely recommend this Kobo product.

This is a great ereader. There is one large “problem” with it though. If you attach a strong magnet to the back, such as a mag-safe item, it will not work. I have a small magnet and it still works normally, but anything stronger will make it shut off and on, and the reader becomes unusable. And that is through a protective case. Otherwise, it functions smoothly, battery life is good, has no ads, and accepts books other than a certain company’s. I was going to buy that other company’s machine, but the limitations imposed in order to lock the customer to its own store, as well as the ads, were a no-go. I haven’t used the kobo store yet, but it’s a large bookstore in Korea, similar to B&N, and my browsing hasn’t turned up inadequacies in English. It does have a store interface on the reader but it is not intrusive. Calibre interacts perfectly with it. I’ve been very pleased with the purchase.

I LOVE this as an alternative to the kindle. The interface is SO much better, in my opinion. You can make the home page quieter/more minimalist, which I LOVE. I had an ANCIENT kindle (the one that has a keyboard and page flip buttons) that I liked. No ads, no bloat, no content being pushed. I was reluctant to get a newer kindle because of all the junk they put on the home page that you can’t turn off. I didn’t like the lack of control a user has over their overall reading and navigating experience. I primarily use my eReader to get library books and that works pretty seamlessly. I can also get ePUB books and transfer them easily with a cable if I want to. I like that the on button is ergonomically placed on the back instead of the awkward spot on the kindle. The size is perfect, it’s not too heavy, it has tons of space. I’m so glad I made the switch. No regrets!

- The device freezes all the time when doing anything other than reading. (Opening settings menu, turning on wifi, interacting with the store or Overdrive) - Unless you click Borrow from the Kobo itself, new library ebooks don't sync to my device - When a book on hold in Overdrive is ready, after syncing on the Kobo it still says 2 weeks left on hold, and the book can't be borrowed. Then i click borrow on my phone/computer, see the book in Overdrive, go to Kobo, sync, book doesn't show up. - I don't mind the speed of the eink when actually reading, so readability is good; however, the device doesn't seem powerful enough to handle the basic admin tasks to make it usable. - Brightness is fine. Size is ok. Overall I wish i had stuck with Kindle, but it's too late for me to return this Kobo...Overpriced and not functional. Maybe a software update will fix it, but I'm not that hopeful.

A mí parecer es superior a la Kindle, se ve y se siente bien, la batería es una locura, dura hasta 2-3 semanas encendida sin problemas, definitivamente compraré la siguiente Kobo!!

Es mi primer lector así que dudaba un poco pero la verdad que es increíble. La tinta se ve perfecta, de verdad parece que miras un libro y no te cansa. Además el material es bueno y el tamaño es el ideal, un poco más grande que un libro de bolsillo. La respuesta es muy rápida y es muy fácil transferir o comprar libros.

Cumple con mis expectativas para ser mi primer lector es rápido, transfiero mis libros por usb sin ningun problema. Por el momento va muy bien

aun no me acostumbro al estar leyendo, como va pasando el tiempo se adapta la luz de la pantalla,

Buscaba una opción compacta y económica que me permitiera ir en transporte, leer pdf y epubs y que se pudiera sincronizar con alguna nube (drive o dropbox), al parecer Kobo se proponía como la alternativa a Kindle (que no se puede ligar a ninguna nube y que parece que tiene problemas para leer epub) pero no fue así, o parcialmente, la opción de la nube está disponible en versiones más caras y en este modelo el pdf no se lee tan bien, es muy lento y no se puede subrayar ningún texto, ah, y los documentos que se suben los nombra y los acomoda como se le da la gana. Pero bueno, sirve para lo básico, básico, básico, no más.
