Kobo is a Toronto based company the has been making ereader software for PC and smartphones. Now they also make some pretty nice hardware. At 120mm x 184mm x 10mm thick
and only 221 grams. It is a great size to carry around. Built in 1GB memory for up to 1000 books and SD slot for expansion for when the 1000 books is just not enough.
The price point is marvelous at $149 and may be one of the cheapest in the market. This little device reads EPUB and PDF files from all sources. The PDF format did not work out
at all that well. Though switching to landscape did work a bit. After some research found a nice little free program called
Calibre and did batch converts from PDF to EPub with large txt. 20.0pt. Now dancing for joy.
The software that come with the reader only allows the syncing of purchased books from Kobo. Calibre will sync all files with ease. Also the good old dragging and dropping is as always a breeze.
All in all i love it.
A no frills ereader for a no frills girl.
