Waited anxiously for my ereader to arrive. It took several days longer than projected which was disappointing. Once it arrived it was great. It is easy to maneuver, has a great selection of books both free and for cost on the Kobo website. While it has Wifi, it is a little awkward to enter data, but, not difficult. Overall, I would, and have, recommend this ereader to people who are looking for a good reader.

Kobo Touch is great

walmart.com

I use tablets and smartphones as ereaders but for heavy use the e-ink is much easier on the eyes. All the major brands work fine, but Kobo comes in first in comparison reviews. Also, Kobo store allows you to download as ePub for use with other branded readers.

It took me a few days to get used to the device - how the touchscreen responds, navigation, etc., but it works very well and is easy to use. I love having a large library in my pocket, I love the easy to read display, I love the convenient size and weight of the reader, and I love going for days at a time without having to recharge (which you can't do with a backlit tablet or phone). I also love borrowing books electronically from the library without having to go on site.

Once in a while why synchronizing they will push software updates to the device - feature enhancements, tweaks to improve responsiveness, etc.

One note, the Kobo Bookstore has plenty of content, but is smaller than B&N or Amazon, some newer releases are slower to come out, etc.

Great eInk reader.

-Super handy.
-color books for the kids are great
-downloaded color cookbooks and used in the kitchen.
-can play music while you read.
-I upload passages to my FB page

All i need

excellent product, in line with what I expected, you can read in direct sunlight

Bought it for my wife and she can not put it down. She is forever downloading books. She loves it! And the price was right too!

A Great Reader

My wife bought me this reader almost 3 years ago. It has been terrific up until the last couple of weeks. Prior to the new problem I am now getting the reader did exactly as promised and as long as you kept up with the free software updates the device would keep working as advertised.

But alas nothing lasts forever and in this case it's the battery. Kobo forgets/neglects to mention that the battery life for the unit is 3 years tops and there is NO WAY to replace the battery. Once it stops taking a charge the only way the unit will work (this is what I am told at least) is to have the unit plugged into your laptop at all times.

You can tell when the battery is starting to go as it will need to be constantly recharged. When I first got the unit a single charge would last a month – and I read every day for at least an hour. Now after performing a full charge I need to recharge the unit after 1 – 2 days use. Or every 1 – 2 hours of reading time. So beware, the unit is a great little reader especially for the price but it is only good for 3 years max unless you want to drag along your laptop when you want to read you're Kobo.

I seem to recall the same thing with Apple and it's music player. There was a class action law suit and Apple lost. You can now replace the battery in the music playing device but I hear it costs almost as much as a new unit would to do so.

I do think all consumers should be made aware of these types of pitfalls prior to making the purchase of a device like the Kobo Touch but don't depend on the manufacturer to do this for you.

Kobo Touch and Battery Life

First off... I love the awards feature... Amazon should create something like that... I ended up getting a kindle fire... I bought a Kobo touch from borders before they went out of business. Everything is perfect for it except for a few flaws. For those of us who use the sd card feature, well it gets disconnected after a while. Like you can just be holding it, and reading a book on the sd card and all of a sudden, it'll disconnect, and you'll have to refind your place of where you were in that book. The cable doesn't matter of what you use... Like I use my amazon kindle cable and it works with this and everything. It'll also charge it. After more than 6 months or so however, it'll start restarting itself... I don't know what's up with that. I googled it and it is a common issue, and their is no fix... On the downside, I have only been able to use my Windows 7 laptop with this. My windows xp will not load it... I don't know what the problem is their either... I had it running on my xp the first week, but after that, it would only load on my windows 7. If you are someone new buying an ereader, from experience I have a few tips for you... Look at the features and the content of each program... I think the main companies to compete with are kobo, kindle, and barnes and noble... If you go with barnes and noble, don't get the nook color or nook tablet... Their cables for the nook color and nook tablet break very easily. Then once your nook goes out of warranty, they will not replace the cable. Go with the Nook simple touch, and I think the nook simple touch with glow light will be ok since it seems to be using the same cable as the nook simple touch. I also haven't heard any complaints about the nook 1st generation, but considering it's outdated, i'd go with the simple touch or the glow light. Any of the kindles will work. They all run the same no tech issues. Just depends what you want, and what features you like best... Any of the kobo's are ok too.

everything is fine except for a few glitches

In general I liked the Kobo Touch but page turning is inconsistent sometimes (1 out of 8 pages maybe) requiring multiple touches and some cursing. Needless to say this severely detracts from the reading experience. Perhaps the other touch ereaders likewise have this problem, I don't know. I returned this one and will look for one with a manual button to turn pages.

Nice ereader but inconsistent touch page turns

I had my Kobo touch for 384 days when the touch screen stopped working. I called customer service who told me that I would simply have to buy a new one. Not even an option for a repair.

Before it stopped completely I would get glitchy days and good days, seemingly at random. when it worked, It was great! when it didn't it was extremely frustrating.

Also, I bought a book through the KOBO app on my Playbook. after it downloaded I was only able to read the preview on the playbook. then I was informed by customer service that I would have to read the rest on my KOBO touch because the KOBO app didn't support the file.

Horrible Customer service, Glitchy Product. Bad compatibility across the whole KOBO range.

Will be replacing with a Kindle

Glitchy Product, Horrible Customer Service

I loved it for the brief time it worked but my kobo touch stopped working after only 5 weeks. They sent me a replacement that stopped working after 1 week! There are serious problems with their touch screen technology and I don't believe they should be selling these in this condition. I wish I had known before I bought it so I'm doing what I can to let everyone know.

faulty touch screen - avoid at all costs
