 Fortunately, Kobo sent us out their newly announced Aura One, which due to a price of $230 can really be considered a premium device when compared against more basic offerings like the Kindle Paperwhite and Kobo's own Touch 2.0. Let's step back for a moment and approach this device from a person who likes to read a lot perspective, since spending that much on a new reader may actually be beneficial for them. Now before I move on, I need to put this device into the proper context because many of you will start comparing this directly to less expensive alternatives

 Let's step back for a moment and approach this device from a person who likes to read a lot perspective, since spending that much on a new reader may actually be beneficial for them. Now before I move on, I need to put this device into the proper context because many of you will start comparing this directly to less expensive alternatives. From my perspective, the Aura One is not meant for anyone who's just slowly starting to shift away from physical books because it's just too expensive and it doesn't fit well for beginners. It's just like a high-end car, Kobo's flagship isn't meant for first-time users, but rather someone who's looking to upgrade their current e-reader

A "Premium" E-Book Reader?  Kobo's Aura ONE

Unless you really like adopting new tech, wait until they make a more polished version

 Instead of going small with its new top-of-the-line e-ink e-reader, Kobo's gone big. The Aura One sports a 7.8-inch screen that's significantly larger than the 6-inch screens found on all of Amazon's Kindle e-readers. However, at 230 grams or 8

 At $230, the Aura One is fairly pricey, but the value proposition here is that you're getting a so-called open e-reader that has a large, crisp e-ink display, and for those who like to read in the bathtub, or any other body of water, it's also fully waterproof. I'm David Carnoy for cnet.com, and that's the Kobo Aura One e-reader, thanks for watching.

Kobo Aura One: The waterproof e-reader that's as big as an iPad

I use both in equal amounts.

Kobo Clara HD

* supports all formats. I manage books with calibre
* Most books I read on there come from humble bundle
* Managing DRM is doable but to change stores you have to reauthenticate. It's been easier on this newer kobo but the system isn't perfect and suffers from being done by Adobe.
* Borrow straight from the library!! The main reason I bought the kobo! 
* Auto warm light is a game changer


Kindle (7th? Gen paperwhite)

* they last forever I still use my Kindle keyboard 
* I save all books I want to read to a wishlist sort by price low to high guaranteed if you have enough books at least one will be 99p every day - perfect for those books you want to read but can't believe it's still £11.99 on Kindle!
* Kindle daily deals
* Prime users get access to free books
* prime users get first access to new books by authors once a month
* Kindle unlimited is awesome 
* The sync between audible and Kindle! Books you own on Kindle are cheaper on audible and vice versa helps you finish those tough books


I think overall kobo requires more dedication to manage and find books for reasonable prices but the library stuff is worth it.

Amazon you run the risk of losing access to your account and your books but chances are low. 

It all depends on the kind of reader you are, if you hoard books then go amazon if you buy one read it then buy another go kobo.

**Kindles** are well built. They last a long time and their screens are consistently lit. Upgrades are much more infrequent. The book store is bigger with a lot of inexpensive, public domain books that have well formatted. If you live in the USA, borrowing Overdrive eBooks is easy. Notes and highlights can be easily exported.

Cons, Kindles come from Amazon (which is why I'll probably not be buying a new Kindle from here on out). The typography is not as nice. The left and right margins are a shade too wide (at the narrowest setting). But, mostly for me, the biggest con is that I feel Amazon has too much of the market already.  I own a Kindle Voyage and, honestly, I think it's the best eReader screen ever made.

**Kobos** are also well built. They have more font size adjustments than does the Kindle. Many more choices for font boldness, for adjusting margins, etc. Better typography. (ePub is better than .mobi.)  Overdrive borrowing (from the device) is extremely easy.

Cons. Maybe *too* many adjustments and too many updates. It tends to make a Kobo an eReader that needs (or at least wants) more "tinkering."  The screens on some models (especially the side-lit ones) tend to more often have lighting inconsistencies — which tends to bother some people more than others. (My Clara HD has a great screen.)

There are other choices also. The **PocketBook Touch HD 3** is my favorite reader. It has page turn buttons, which I like, is water resistant (a big deal for some folks), has a touch screen that can be disabled. Is extremely light. The screen is on par with the Kobo Clara HD. But what I really like about it is that has ADE built in. Just use its browser to download an .ascm file, the HD 3 will download the book. (Right now, hoewever, the Overdrive security certificate has issues and it can't (currently) be used to directly borrow library books. Supposed to be fixed "soon.") It also has a built-in DropBox integration. One feature I really like is that books, from any source, can be uploaded to the PocketBook Cloud and you can sync the book on the reader and on a smartphone running PocketBook's Android app. (Or another reader.)

Good luck choosing.

I'm looking to downsize/save space (i.e. sell/donate my physical books) and I'm considering purchasing an e-reader. I'm leaning towards a Kobo e-reader. This is mostly because I feel like Amazon already dominates e-commerce and doesn't really treat their employees well, etc.

My question is to those who like e-readers: what do you like about your Kindle or Kobo? Pros and cons? General thoughts?

Btw, I do have an iPad, but I find the reading experience on it isn't great for long periods of time. Kind of strains my eyes.

As a side note, does anyone want a bundle of random books? I'm half-serious lol

Kindle vs Kobo

 I plugged it into the charger for more than a day and it wouldn't charge! I found out that yes, the battery can be replaced but it needs more sophisticated electronics skills than I possess. I'm glad that I was able to use it for the time I had it, but I think it should have lasted more than two years! Or at least they should make the battery replaceable., or provide a replacement service. I would not buy one of these again

Battery doesn't last

 It has probably the best front-lit experience that Coppo has ever done as well as the new feature, which changes, uh, you know, the screen and eliminates blue light. So this e-reader could do it all as well as it's giant. So if you're reading manga, if you're reading PDF files, if you're reading eBooks, you have more screen real estate to be able to fit more text on a page. We'd like to hear your thoughts on our review

 It's responsive based on your last tasks. So you can see that we've added some books here. We've opened some books, some PDF files. And so every task you do, the previous tasks are replaced and this is meant to function as shortcuts
