Review: 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!!
Review: 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.

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.
