Kobo Glo alternatives
Kobo Glo's revolutionary ComfortLight illuminates the screen with a soft, adjustable glow so you can read any eBook any time of day under the perfect light — no lamp required. Because Kobo Glo’s advanced high-res XGA Pearl E Ink screen doesn’t use a glass overlay for its front light technology, there’s never any glare, even in the brightest sunlight. The best Kobo Glo alternatives are: Kobo Aura, Kobo Clara, Kobo Nia, Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Ereader, PocketBook InkPad, Kobo Sage, Kindle Oasis, Nook GlowLight

2019. Kobo boosts performance of PDF files
Kobo has recently released a new firmware upgrade for all of their e-readers. They have enhanced the performance of PDF documents, which now load more swiftly.

2019. Kobo brings many of the Libra H2O features to older Kobo e-readers
Kobo has released a new firmware update for the Kobo Touch, Kobo Glo and Kobo Aura that introduces improved eBook navigation and other features from the latest Kobo Libra H2O model. Headers and footers now show both chapter and book progress, so you are always aware of your location in the book. The progress bar provides a quick overview of your position in the book. You can adjust your page layout by accessing the Reading settings. An upgraded book scrubber now appears as part of the menu. The enhanced eBook scrubber displays the entire book rather than just one chapter. Page previews enable you to quickly reference and navigate to different sections of your book.
2017. Kobo makes managing ebooks simpler
Kobo has updated the firmware for its e-readers. The update introduced a Manage Books feature: under My Books, you can now select multiple books simultaneously, mark them as read or unread, delete them, or add them to collections. The My Books section has been redesigned with a cleaner layout, including updated Filter and Sort menus. The reading experience has also been enhanced. You can now tap the center of the page to open reading menus, access the Table of Contents, or modify Reading Settings. The screen will refresh after each chapter rather than every six pages.
2015. Kobo unveiled new e-Reader Glo HD to take on Kindle Voyage
Kobo’s new Glo HD e-reader will boast the claim of highest resolution for the lowest price when it launches on May 1 for $129.99. The latest device from Rakuten-owned Kobo offers 300 ppi pixel density on a 6-inch screen, matching the resolution of the $199.99 Kindle Voyage, which should ensure exceptionally sharp, pixel-free text rendering. In fact, both the Kobo Glo HD and the Kindle Voyage utilize e-ink’s Carta screen technology, providing text rendering similar to what you’d see with a super high resolution e-ink display, like those found in iPhones and modern Android devices, though using the low-power e-paper tech that presents in black and white and is better suited for a dedicated reading device.
