I’ve only have this ereader for around 2 weeks and I’ve already logged 24 hours of reading on it (and I love that it tracks that automatically). I’ve bought a couple books - on my browser and through the store on the kobo itself - when you browse on the device, you pay by scanning a QR code. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR PURCHASE AFTER SCANNING THE CODE. The QR code has pulled up the wrong book for me and I wound up buying a different book than I wanted. Luckily it was the second book in the same series and I wound up wanting it, but it was still frustrating bc there’s no easy means to get your money back. Easily managed with more vigilance at least. Otherwise, no complaints about the reading experience. Great battery life, easily navigated, lightweight, pleasant colors, it’s my new favorite toy in the world and it fits in most of my pockets.

It's a great e-reader with good options as it allows different types of e-books to be read on it.

I am a long time Kindle user. I bought the Kobo based on a WaPo article that said it had superior integration with the Libby app. The Kobo was a bit smaller, but fit better in my hand. The power button was in a sensible place, not like the Kindle's idiotic design. Integration with Libby (Overdrive) was good, with one exception. I use multiple library cards with my Libby/Kindle. On the Kobo that does not work. The Kobo is limited to one library log-in at a time. When you switch library cards (log in to a different library) the Kobo completely forgets all of the previous library. This was a deal breaker for me. I sent it back within an hour of opening the Kobo box. Sigh

It's a welcome change from my previous reader. It's lighter and easier to use. Connects to my library, so books automagically populate. It has a remote that is not bulky or awkward. The color is a nice to have. Best devoce purchase I've made in a long time.

Never thought I'd like an e-reader, but it's quickly become something I use on a daily basis and take with me everywhere. The screen is slow and finicky at first if you've never used an e-ink display before, but quickly for used to it within a few days. Used it to read some PDF books I already had, which were easy to upload with a simple USB cable, but I imagine the experience is better with ePUBs. It's small and convenient too.

it goes to sleep mode and never wakes up until I do a factory reset. It happens more than twice a day!! Also there were mositurize inside the protective screen the moment I opened the Kobo. Not a really good experience
