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. The book I would download would definitely be Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes. It’s not a new book, but it’s one that I’ve been meaning to read for a very long time now.

  3. All the features are amazing, but the one that stands out for me, is waterproofing. I don’t even want to begin counting how many ereaders I have lost to water damage. I bring these ereaders on long multiday hikes, it’s just so much easier to pack than a book and having it waterproof will definitely be a HUGE plus.

  5. I screen size is the feature that I would enjoy the most. Large enough to fell like i am reading an actual hardcover book.

  7. I like the “ComfortlightPRO” feature, anything that makes it easier to read without having a lot of external lighting on is great.

  14. I would order The Girl on the Train because a lot of my friends tell me they couldn’t put down the book!

  16. I like the front light technology that protects your eyes and provides the best nighttime reading without impacting your sleep.

  18. My favourite feature of this Kobo has to be the ComfortLight PRO…getting to sleep can be tricky sometimes but this feature would really help!

  23. I love that it is waterproof so I can read in the tub and not worry when I bring it to my water access cottage.

  26. I’d like to get the book: The Way of Rest – Finding The Courage to Hold Everything in Love by Jeff Foster

  27. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child – Parts One and Two (Special Rehearsal Edition) Is the book I would get, well, one of the books anyways.

  28. The comfortlight pro and the ability to store 6000 books.With so many of my favorite authors having new releases coming out its hard to choose but with the storage available I could load it up

  29. The Big, 7.8 inch Carta E-ink display is definitely a feature I could get behind!
    I used to read E-Books on a tiny little iPad, now on my S4, so this would be major improvement

  38. The book I would choose to read from the Kobo store if I were to win this prize is called “MAGIC BINDS” by Ilona Andrews. It looks really good and I would love to read it on a beautiful Kobo like the Aura One!

  39. My favourite feature is definitely the ComfortlightPRO. I love the fact that you can change the colour temperature to a more natural colour at night. It’s way better on the eyes!
