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.

  9. When I bought my first Kobo years ago I commented how it would be really great if it had a backlit screen. Now I’m pretty sure all the models have that feature and I love it. Also how this one is waterproof. That is a great feature. I like to take my kobo travelling with me and having it be waterproof would be a great asset. I live on the “wet” coast so that is always a problem.

  11. I love that the Kobo Sage can last weeks after just a single hour of charging! The tediousness of charging was always the biggest thing keeping me from switching to e-books permanently but it seems that won’t be a problem with these newer models.

  13. I would have to say the resolution where you can change the background to dark mode. I think as I sometimes like to read in bed this is the feature I love the most because I also won’t disturb my spouse if he’s trying to sleep while I read.

  15. I absolutely love the long battery life. It be great for long road trips or just a summer trip at the lake without worrying about having to charge it or having the battery die

  18. I would like to surprise my wife with this as she loves to read in the tub while having a bath, and knowing that this is waterproof is a big bonus.

  19. My favourite feature of this device is the Water-proof design (IPX8). I like this because I could take it to the pool to read and I also spill things a lot so this would be perfect.

  20. I like the fact that you can use audio books. I’ve been wishing that kobo would come out with that – and here it is.

  21. The 8inch screen is a huge one for me. The bigger the screen the better. I find it easier on the eyes for extended reads!

  23. I absolutely love the long battery life. It be great for long road trips or just a summer trip at the lake without worrying about having to charge it or having the battery die

  34. I think the long battery life is awesome as I love to read and it’s great that I can read longer between charges!

  37. I love the 1440 x 1920 resolution with Dark Mode, meaning it will be easier on my eyes when I read for hours.

  40. I love that you can make handwritten notes in eBooks or PDFs! I usually have to have a notebook beside me and that’s a lot to lug around

  43. easily the best feature is that it is waterproof. I have actually already killed two e-readers while camping because i accidentally left them out in the rain!

  44. I like the Dropbox Support allows you to get instant access to millions of books with sharing options as well. I would love to have choices.

  48. I love the long battery life feature of the Kobo Sage touchscreen E-reader because I could read more and charge less!!

  50. Long battery life and the fact that it is waterproof are features that would be amazing for travelling
