aura one waterproofKobo eReaders are fantastic. I have owned one for many years. I read it at home; I’ve loaded it with books and took it on vacations. In fact for the past few years I took it everywhere with me so whenever I had a few minutes—perhaps waiting for one of my kids to finish piano lessons—I’d be able to read. It’s light, slim enough to fit anywhere and can hold thousands of books.

Now Kobo has made their newest eReader better than ever. If you google the Kobo Aura ONE you’ll see that reviewers on tech sites and news sites agree it is the best: “unlike anything else” says good eReader.com; and “Cadillac of eReaders” says Techcrunch.com.

 

What makes this eReader uniquely superior?

  1. AuraONEBig, brilliant screen: 7.8 inch Carta E-ink display delivers a superior print-quality reading experience in bright sunlight. The edge-to-edge design is lightweight and comfortable to hold for hours of reading.
  1. ComfortlightPRO: By reducing blue-light exposure, the front light technology protects your eyes and provides the best nighttime reading without impacting your sleep.
  1. Waterproof: read in the bath, or by the pool on your next Caribbean cruise, and don’t worry if your hands are a little wet, or even if you drop it into the water.
  1. Easily take out library books like no other eReader can. New technology enables you to borrow library books from the comfort of your home!
  1. Store up to 6000 books.

 

And like every Kobo eReader, finding your favourite books to load onto the device is super easy. On my last vacation I wanted to finally read the Bourne trilogy (I loved the movies) so I loaded all 3 Ludlum novels on my eReader. I went to the Kobo store on my computer using the Kobo app (which you can get from the Kobo store too!), searched for the books, and bought them. I then just had to connect the USB cable from my Kobo to my computer and, when prompted, hit “sync.” The books appeared in my Kobo library for whenever I was ready to start reading. It literally took a couple minutes.

I love how the Kobo store makes it easy to find books you are searching for, or even discover new releases that match your interests. Go there now and you’ll likely find the next great new novel you want to read. I did and found Yann Martel’s new one “The High Mountains of Portugal” (priced at less than $5!). I was initially hooked on Martel’s writing when I read “Life of Pi” but it was his brilliant description of a pear in “Beatrice and Virgil” that turned me into a true fan.

  2. I have to read before bed in order to sleep decently every night the ComfortlightPRO feature is perfect for people like me.

  15. I’m always reading on the bus to and from work and also at night just before I go to sleep, I love the built in light because I never have to worry whether there’s enough light to read anymore. It’s great! Louise Penny’s “A Great Reckoning” is my choice for my first book on it.

  21. I love reading outside and like that this Kobo reader would provide a better quality reading experience in the sunlight.

  24. Just came across a new book at the Kobo store called In Such Good Company by Carol Burnett. Love her and always have since I was a kid, would definitely read this through

  26. The first book I would buy is Rogue Lawyer by John Grisham. This is the only book of his that I have not read.

  27. I love the ease of taking out library books, as in Canada it is painful trying to take out ebooks for other readers. I also like to read in the bath with an icy cold beverage on hand, so the waterproof feature would does the trick.

  28. The comfortlightPRO is great technology for night time reading. I’m often awake in the middle of the night on my phone but that light is too harsh. The blue light is great so as not to keep me awake for long.

  33. The first book I would read if I won this prize is The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins. I’ve heard such great things and can’t wait to delve in.

  34. I love the ComfortlightPRO feature. It makes reading easy on the eyes so you can fall asleep and rest well.

  50. I would read The Best Kind of People by Zoe Whittall first. I am very intrigued by its synopsis
