Reading broadens and shapes your mind

Since I was a child, I have loved reading. Even now as an adult, I can’t go to a coffee shop without a book in my backpack. I even remember the first book I ever read: the Call of the Wild by Jack London. It’s the book of my childhood. It shaped my imagination in regards to what Canada is about—magnificent mountains, landscapes, harsh winters, and more. I looked at the Kobo store online, and voila, it is there and for less than a dollar I could download it to an e-reader and relive that amazing experience.

Reading is an amazing activity not only for your brain, but for your mind. It opens it, lets you imagine you can be one of the characters, and live a different life. Lately I’ve been getting into crime books, especially Agatha Christie’s books. They give me a thrill, but I do get a little impatient to discover who’s the real killer. Reading triggers a range of emotions in me; most importantly, it makes you feel things. Nowadays, reading is more accessible than ever, thanks to portable e-readers like the Kobo Sage. With a Kobo, there are no more excuses for not getting started on a new book!

Kobo Sage HD touchscreen eReader with stylus to read in style

If you are looking for an e-reader that lets you store all your books, the Kobo Sage HD touchscreen is what you need. Featuring 32GB of storage, it’s the perfect accessory to keep all your favourite titles, especially when you are on the go. Depending on what you are in the mood for, you can just choose from any genre without having to carry any book. Boasting a 1440 x 1920 resolution with Dark Mode on an 300 PPI E Ink Carta 1200 touchscreen, reading with a Kobo Sage is comfortable and easy on your eyes; you can keep reading for hours. Its waterproof design is also great to take it to the beach or by the pool—or just in the bath without worries. What’s also great is that you don’t have to worry about charging it up every hour since it can last up to weeks on a single charge.

Combined with the Kobo stylus that we are giving away in this contest, you will be able to make handwritten notes in eBooks or PDFs. It’s great for aspiring writers to jot ideas or anyone who likes to doodle notes and reminders. I think for me, it would be a great creative writing experience. I like that you don’t have to worry about carrying a pen and paper and can get those creative ideas rolling freely and edit and transfer them to a computer with ease.

We sent out for honest review this really cool Kobo Sage e-Reader to our blogger Ted Kritsonis. I recommend you to read it through, especially if you are figuring out which one between the Sage and the similarly designed new Libra 2 you might prefer. It’s a great read overall. Then come back, and enter this contest to win the Sage one.

  1. eReaders are great – they’re light weight, and I can adjust the size so it’s easy to read. Plus – never have to worry about losing a bookmark!

  2. I like the length of the battery power, great for when your away from a power source. Having it waterproof allows you to read close to the pool.

  3. The fact that it’s waterproof is very cool – but having weeks of battery power is my favourite feature!

  4. so many great features on this KOBO Sage model but for me the waterproof feature so i can read it by the pool without worrying about water splashing on it

  5. Besides the waterproof. I’d say I’m most excited about all the settings involved around making it easier eye strain which is important to me

  6. I really like the ComfortLight PRO’s blue light reduction, because I am constantly on my cellphone reading my books, and this would keep my eyes safer and less sore.

  7. The feature I love the most is how long the battery lasts. I could keep this in my tractor and read my books while I’m waiting on other people!

  8. I love that it is waterproof so that I can use it while I’m outside or in the bathtub. I would love to win this prize.

  9. I love the The E ink technology most about the kobo Sage touchscreen E – Reader for glare free reading so it’s easy in the eyes.

  10. I like the fact it is waterproof. Can read outside and not worry if someone spills water on it ( most likely me).

  11. I really like the Kobo eReaders with their ComfortLight PRO technology to be easy on the eyes. But the number 1 feature of the Sage that has me really interested is the ability to quickly jot down notes (with the separate Stylus) on the ebooks and pdfs.

  12. My favourite feature is definitely the fact that it is waterproof so I can read outside by the water or in the bath with much less worry.

  13. The soft on the eyes for reading is a great feature. Also the stylus makes it easy to take notes thus replacing a pen and paper notepad. With a durable battery and waterproofing, it’s a great product on the go.

  14. There are so many features I love about this reader! Not having to charge it as often is probably #1 for me. But love that
    it’s waterproof so don’t have to worry if I spill my drink on it. And not to mention it’s easy on your eyes when reading. Would love to win this prize.

  15. Definitely the waterproof feature so I can read it outside when camping and not worry about it getting wet.
