When it comes to reading eBooks or simply PDFs, staring at a laptop screen can be very uncomfortable, and using a tablet like the iPad simply does not feel fit because of the weight and the limited battery life.
Luckily, we can now look towards the eBook readers using the eInk technology, providing the same feeling as reading a magazine. I know this has been around for a few years with the Kindle but I had not really thought of buying one until recently.
And last month I did, and I chose the Kobo Glo HD. Why this one?
- I did not want be stuck with Amazon
- Very decent PDF support: there is a landscape mode and you can make annotations even on PDF
- It is very light
- And has an amazing battery life
- Has a backlight in case
- And wifi to synchronize it with your dropbox account or to buy books when you are on the move
- But most of all, Kobo has a partnership with Pocket which enables you to read all your favorite blogs and news offline!
I am not often recom mending technology but thanks to this device I finally get to read longer content than blog posts on holidays, which is priceless.
