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 love that the Kobo Aura ONE has such a big screen with features like massive book capacity! I would love one of these 😀

  12. I’m an avid reader who reads anywhere, anythime I can. I often read in bed just before going to sleep so the Comfortlight PRO feature which reduces blue light exposure is of interest. But I also like the waterproof feature so tthat I can read in the tub or at the beach

  14. Who hasn`t read Girl on a Train yet? My pick is Beautiful by Christina Lauren. Can`t wait to see how this series ends.
    BTW, Girl on a Train was published in 2015 – hardly new.

  17. This is a tough one. Waterproof is a great feature, but I don`t read in the tub. I do however read in bed and the reduction of blue-light exposure sounds like a great feature as well. But, the best of the best features is the capacity – at 6000 books – that is truly enormous.

  24. I would never worry about not taking enough books to read on holidays.
    Wow 6,000. Nice!
    My next book choice would be Rogue Lawyer by John Grisham.

  28. Never have to worry about running out of books on holidays with 6,000 books.
    My next book choice would be The Stepmother. 🙂

  29. My favorite feature is the Big, brilliant screen because my vision isn’t as good as it used to be .

  34. The first book I would read is “Where am I now?” by Mara Wilson. She was my favourite actress when I was a child!

  35. My favourite feature is the ComfortlightPRO. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve stayed up late reading, only to not be able to sleep the next night!

  41. I think I would like to read the Girl on a Train as I have seen the preview of the movie and it made me interested in the book.

  50. The first book I would load on the kobo if I won is Heaven is For Real. It’s the story of a little boy’s near death experience. He is revived and begins after healing, telling his dad about Heaven.
