In this Kobo review we will mostly pit Kobo against Kindle. Currently, Amazon’s kindle reign supreme when it comes to e-readers. However, we can safely assume that Kobo poses to be the best alternative to Kindle. What makes Kobo a worthy adversary is that it is a touchscreen wireless eReader, and a hardware that is very different from Kindle.

This home button is located underneath the screen, and it functions to take you back to the homescreen. All other functionality is done through the touch screen feature. The base resolution is set at 600×800 with a 6-inch screen. It has the capability of hosting a SD card and microSDHC depending on the model you purchase.

Kobo devices can support multiple formats such as HTML, MOBI eBook and Rich text format. It even supports AZW files, although it has some restrictions. Kobo devices can only read AZW files without DRM protection such as e-books that are found on Gutenberg Project. This Kobo review would like to point out that some HTML files can cause slowdowns, but other supported formats load seamlessly.
The home screen typically displays the cover of the ebooks that have been recently opened. Although, this only works for formats that has an attached cover images such a ePub. Other formats with no attached cover images displays the generic book icon. There is a menu at the top with each links to the store, Kobo’s Reading Life Section and your personal library of e-books. Kobo’s Reading Life Section has an interesting twist in it for it works like a game. It is basically a networking add-on that unlock achievements when you use it for different purposes.
