Text and comics have never looked better in black and white, and everything simply just looks crisp.The screen is coupled up with an even
Despite a 1GHz processor under the hood, there were times when we saw the Kobo Aura HD lag. PDF and comic book files pushed the processor to a page-turning halt, with a few seconds to wait after pressing the touchscreen.

PDF-Darstellung Anfangs waren wir vom ersten optischen Eindruck des Kobo Aura HD etwas enttäuscht. Zu plastiklastig und steril wirkte das weiße Kunststoff-Gehäuse. Nach einer Woche mit dem E-Book-Reader konnten wir aber eine Vielzahl an wirklich guten Eig...

Crisp HD screen makes reading a pleasure, It feels like an expensive device and it's built ergonomically, It has an impressive 2 month battery life on a single charge
