Excellent design, Great illuminated screen, Expandable memory, Strong software
More expensive than the Paperwhite, No Pageflip feature
The Aura is a great eBook reader. It is £20 more expensive than the Kobo Glo – which is still available to buy – but for my money it's a better designed and even more solid reader that fits slightly more comfortably in the hand. Of course, the new Kindle...
Textured back adds grip, Even backlight, Long battery life
A little expensive, No standby sync
With the longest battery life of any eReader on the market, you can overlook the slightly higher price of the Kobo Aura. It has a great and even backlight, clear text and loads of software features that will let you enjoy your chosen book with ease. Certa...
The Kobo Aura HD impressed us with its pixel packed screen and smooth fonts. The Kobo Aura's has a slightly lower overall resolution, measuring 1014x758, but its slightly smaller six-inch screen means the effective pixel density of 212ppi remains super sharp, and matches up to the premium Kindle Paperwhite. The gorgeous screen dominates the entire front portion of the e-reader, with just a thin b
We're fans of the overall package that Kobo has put together with its latest Aura model, and to be honest, there's not much to fault it on as it's a solid product with a few top-notch features. On our review sample, however, there was a tiny little gap at the top between the screen bezel and the edge of the Aura that bled out a little light. While it's not a total deal breaker by any stretch, it
Kobo's latest e-reader is a solid effort that comes close to rivalling Amazon's Kindle range, thanks to a solid high-resolution screen, excellent build quality and an evenly distributed frontlight. Throw in Pocket integration, great battery life and a ...

The core reading experience is a real pleasure, the integration of the Pockets web page saver is great too and we've plenty of time for the look, feel and the ComfortLight.
WiFi connection can be shaky, it's a touch pricey and it's prone to the odd glitch
We really like the Kobo Aura. It does the core job very well and it's something of a pleasure to own. If Kobo could iron out the kinks, it'd be a stone cold, five star ereader....
Light and dinky; Antireflective lightup touchscreen; Good online store; Expandable storage
Price; Top brightness kills the battery
If you’re after an eReader for taking on holiday or the daily commute, the Kobo Aura is a great option. It’s compact enough to carry anywhere, the expandable storage means you can carry an enormous collection, and the ClarityScreen can be clearly seen at ...

Perfekt für E-Books und Webinhalte via Pocket Nach dem Kobo Mini ist der Kobo Aura der zweite E-Reader, den ich persönlich ausprobiert habe. Ich kann also noch nicht auf einen sehr reichhaltigen Erfahrungsschatz zurückgreifen. Aber nachdem ich jetzt eini...

Der EBook-Reader Kobo Aura mit beleuchtetem 5,9-Zoll-Display zeigt scharfe 758 x 1.024 Bildpunkte. Doch im Test entäuscht der Aura mit schwacher Akku-Laufzeit, die nur rund 13.000 Seitenwechsel zulässt. Obendrein dauert das Umblättern unnötig lang...

Außergewöhnliches Design, Geringes Gewicht und kompaktes Gehäuse, Guter Touchscreen mit PinchToZoom, Kaum Ghosting dank WellenformTechnik, Pocket (Readitlater) Funktion, Umfangreiche Funktionalität und Extras, Umfangreiche Textanpassungsoptionen
Eingeschränkte PDFFunktionalität, Keine (Blätter)Tasten, Kleine Softwarefehler, Registrierungszwang
Kobo gehört neben PocketBook zu den aktivsten eBook Reader Herstellern am Markt. Das mag auch mit dem Expansionsdrang des japanisch-kanadischen Unternehmens zu tun haben, das in den letzten 2 Jahren das Engagement massiv ausgeweitet hat. Der Kobo Aura sol...
