11/9/2023 0 Comments Kobo glo us![]() This eBook reader features a high contrast ratio that makes the text look extra sharp on the screen. You will likely appreciate this after spending a few hours holding the device while reading your favorite book. At 6.5 ounces, it’s a bit lighter than many other popular eBook readers on the market. Of course, its light weight is a good thing, too. It measures 6.4-by-4.5 inches, and is 0.39 inches thick. The Kobo Glo’s compact size is another big advantage when it comes to eBook readers, according to Engadget. While you won’t notice the scores, you will notice how easy it is to read the text underneath them. It’s not just Top Ten Reviews that appreciates the lighting, according to Wired, the screen of the Kobo Glo owes its consistent lighting to the tiny scores on the screen that carry the device’s light waves. One of the reasons the Kobo Glo made the list is that the light is impressively even, lacking the blemishes or random bright spots you might find on other eBook readers. In addition to the full review on the Top Ten Reviews site, journalist Karina Fabian of Top Ten Reviews would like to share her top six features of the Kobo Glo – check it out! Most recently, TopTenREVIEWS tested it out and named it one of the top eReaders for 2014! ![]() Many of our readers like the Kobo Glo for an obvious reason – it keeps the pages of their eBook lite up for easier reading. * Finally, while no one trying to run a bookstore needs business advice from me, I don’t think I would recommend any struggling indie bookstore jump into an attempt to sell Kobo Arcs, however attractive they are in that $200 market space.The Kobo Glo has been a Kobo fan favourite since it launched. I have asked my indie to closely monitor his ABA reports against my buying history to see what actually happens. This is significant because it is (so far) claimed that:ġ) a Kobo account created on the indie-purchased hardware is permanently "affiliated", without the customer jumping through any hoops.Ģ) any book purchase made on the indie-purchased device is automatically "affiliated". The Glo and Mini offer a completely wireless setup, which the Touch does not. ![]() * the Touch has never been a big part of the indie push. In fact, I would go so far as to say Powell’s was one of the flagship partners, but they along with all the rest were left in the lurch when Google announced the imminent end of the reseller program back in April of this year. Powell’s was one of the many indie booksellers who signed up with Google when the Google eBookstore was launched back in 2010. It’s also a marked change from Powell’s past ebook efforts. It’s going to inhibit any bookseller’s goal of engaging with readers and it’s also going to let Kobo build up their customer base at the expense of the indie bookseller. From what I can tell Powell’s is handling the ebook sales strictly as an affiliate they’re not selling the ebooks themselves on their website but instead are sending customers to Kobo. There does not seem to be any mention of the Kobo Touch or the Kobo Arc, though.īut I did see mentions of ebooks. This Portland based indie bookseller announced a partnership with Kobo last week, but it wasn’t until this week that they updated the website to include product pages for the Kobo Mini and Kobo Glo as well as cases for the 2 ereaders. I’ve just ordered my Kobo Glo from Powell’s Books. Update: One reader has pointed out that Kobo doesn’t seem to be carrying any ereaders on their website anymore. It’s been well over a month since Kobo’s retail partners in the UK and Canada started selling Kobo’s latest ereaders, but thanks to Kobo’s refusal to stock their own hardware on their own website interested buyers in the US have been out of luck. Kobo Glo is Finally Available in the US – From Powell’s
