The Kobo Touch is a terrific eReader
But in terms of features
We’re still talking the basics. In this respect
The Amazon Kindle and Amazon Kindle Touch are still the more desirable eReaders. Some eBooks are also more costly on Kobo eBooks than they are on Amazon. Purchasing on the Amazon website and have that book sent to your Kindle also feels much more intuitive. The Kobo isn’t as fast as th

Abstract: At the end of 2011 e-readers seemed to have landed in troubled waters. Not because of a resurgence of the hardcover, but because of how quickly the mainstream embraced tablets. E-readers struggled to create a niche for themselves since the 90s, but sinc...

The Kobo Touch is a very good, and highly commended tablet with a great touchscreen, and is more than capable of acting as an alternative to the Amazon Kindle. That said , we’d still prefer an Amazon Kindle. Kobo Touch is tagged with Kobo, touch, revi...

Slim and light, Attractive, Decent E-ink Pearl screen
