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.

  10. I travel a lot and spend a lot of time outdoors, wo the Kobo Aura One eReader’s superior print-quality reading experience in bright sunlight is a real plus for me. Thank you!

  20. As I love to be near water, whether it is soaking in a bathtub or laying along side a pool, the best feature that I love about the Kobo Aura One, is that it is waterproof.

  27. I like the large screen on the Kobo Aura One, always have a paperback book with me everywhere I go, a reader would be so much handier to carry with me.

  28. Love that I can borrow library books with it, and I don’t have to be afraid to read them in the bath. I have dropped books in the tub before – not good!

  30. I’m guilty of eating and drinking while I read, I often spill on my books leaving them in ruins so this new waterproof feature is great.

  33. I love that the Kobo Aura ONE is water proof so that I don’t have to worry about water damage when I use it for cooking recipes.

  40. I really like the new technology that enables you to borrow library books from the comfort of your home. I have always used the library to borrow books and magazines from so this would be really great to have this Kobo.

  41. The big brilliant screen and ComfortlightPRO feature of the Kobo Aura One would be really useful as we do a lot of reading at night before bed. My daughter loves to read in the car when we commute and it gets dark so early in the winter!

  42. I would love to read “Harry Potter and the Cursed a child” with my daughter. She is an avid reader would be amazing to read this on the Kobo Aura One.

  43. The book i’m looking forward to reading is Hero by R. A. Salvatore. It’s a pre-order for Oct 25th. Can’t wait! The Drizzt series never get boring!

  45. Even though you gave waterproof as your example that is definitely a feature i would like that my current Kobo reader does not have.

  46. I like the feature that allows borrowing books from library. I get a lot of books from my local library and this feature will make it that much easier for me.
