Love Kobo

By Jennifer ( the shopping channel queen )

from Windsor, Ontario

Bronze Reviewer

This is my first e-reader and I absolutely love it. It's just like reading from a book, not hard on the eyes at all. I really like the backlight it has. It is very portable and the good thing is that no one knows what you are reading.

excellent ereader

By twig

I use the ereader for relaxation time. I'm able to catch up on my reading when I'm on the bus or waiting at the doctor's office.

Expired Coupon.

By Stella

from Hamilton

Slow to send and then the coupon expired. Had to send the entire package back just for the e-book download. Then they tell me they don't have it anymore and offer a refund. Not very happy with the whole process.

LOVE MY KOBO GLO

By dotcomma

from OTTAWA

I have another e-reader but I purchased the Glo specifically for the light feature. I read in bed and it is so nice being able to do so without having the bedside lamp on. When I am ready for sleep, I just close the book and that's it for the night - no lights to turn off. Am totally happy with the purchase.

Just got my 4th Kobo and what a gem!

By Minou

from Kingston Ontario

I recently joined a choir and needed to manipulate lyrics. My arthritic hands reached out to Kobo: small, light, versatile and I needed to load PDF documents. First I had the WiFi Kobo and it got its share of attention but now I'm demonstrating my new Kobo Glo.

The Kobo Glo is the best. I can zoom in, scroll using touch. I have saved all my lyrics on their own bookshelf so there is no need to use the Search function.

The Glo is great because I can get full lighting or discreetly dim lighting.

I can even write notes on the screen itself.

What's not to like, and the price? It was a great deal.

Love it!

By Diane

from Beamsville

I too had the original that I liked we'll enough, but this one is so much faster to load books and for page turning. It is very responsive to touch- it seems to be more so than the first touch Kobo. It is very user friendly and I love the built in light.

Best gift ever!!!

By Cynthia

from Northern Alberta

I purchased the Kobo Glow for my Husband as an Anniversary gift. I don't think he's put it down since he received it, he absolutely loves it - I have the Kobo Vox and I love mine, my husband felt that the Vox was to "involved" for what he wanted. With the Glow I found it was very easy to "sync" my library with his system,and he was ready to go immediatley. The only challenge is charging the Glow it doesn't seem to be easily recognized his laptop and this is the only connections provided for charging... although there is reference to wall charging but we aren't real tech savvy lol. I'm sure we will figure it out just don't want to damage the battery... All in all great value for the money!!!

Basking in the Glo!

By Karen

from Winnipeg

I have an original Kobo reader but due to worsening cataracts I haven't been able to use it in low light. When I saw the Kobo Glo I ordered one right away. The backlight makes it much easier for me to read. I find it to be very user friendly and I like the sleep cover. Shopping for books is also very easy. I love, love, love my Kobo!
