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 stores up to 6000 books because that is about how many I have on my “To Read” list. lol

  7. All of the features of this new Kobo Aura ONE are great but as I love to read on holidays down south, the waterproof feature is my favourite. No more humidity screens!!

  8. Waterproof! definitely taking it to the beach next summer, if i win!! 😉 thanks for the chance!

  11. The next book I would like to read is The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion since I enjoyed the Rosie Project so much.

  12. Because I like to read before bedtime the best feature would be “ComfortlightPRO: By reducing blue-light exposure, the front light technology protects your eyes and provides the best nighttime reading without impacting your sleep.”

  16. My current e-reader (a Sony) is somewhat the worse for wear after getting it wet in the rain (and reading in the bath). So the waterproof aspect of the Kobo really interests me.

  20. I love that it is waterproof. I’ve always been worried about using an e-reader because I read so much and I have a habit of getting my devices wet.

  23. You know, Don’t I Know You? by Marni Jackson has a great premise – what if celebrities pop up in your life, randomly, sounds neat! So I’d probably read that 🙂 Not my normal style, but it sounds pretty interested.

  26. Easily take out library books like no other eReader can – I read a lot of library books, but it would be great to read them on this, with less eye strain and the ability to read with it in the tub! 😉 #librarylady

  27. Definitely my favourite thing is the Waterproof aspect. I LOVE reading by the pool and in the bathtub – I do it with my current e-reader (I like to live dangerously! 🙂 ), but it would be beyond amazing to have one that I could do it with without worry. Especially when I go on vacation! 🙂

  29. “The Girl on the Train” will be the book I will be reading (in the bathtub) next if I win this Kobo Auro One!

  30. I love to read while I’m soaking in the tub and the waterproof feature is perfect for me; guess my bath will be a lot longer now!

  43. Big, 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.

  44. I often like to read outside by the pool so I love that it is waterproof. My kids are always splashing me, and who wants them to stop having fun!
