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.

Here are the latest news about Kobo Glo:
2019. Kobo boosts performance of PDF files
In a universe where e-readers valiantly strive to be as clever as the people reading them, Kobo has flung forth a firmware update that’s bound to make bibliophiles and PDF enthusiasts do a little jig of delight (or at least nod approvingly). PDFs, once as sluggish as a Vogon poet on a deadline, now zip along with sprightliness. Meanwhile, the header and footer, long relegated to mere functional dreariness, have evolved into a playground of customization—offering page numbers, percent read, time remaining, or the thrilling option to vanish altogether, leaving the progress bar to sulk in obscurity.
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
In a small corner of the digital galaxy known as Kobo, a fleet of e-readers received a firmware update of such significance that even the electrons buzzed with excitement. The cosmic architects behind it introduced the Manage Books feature, a sublime tool allowing the bookish traveler to select multiple volumes, mark them as triumphantly finished or woefully unread, banish them to oblivion, or gather them into curated collections with the flourish of a celestial librarian. The My Books section underwent a metamorphosis, emerging with a layout so clean and orderly it might make a Vogon weep. Filter and Sort menus now stand ready like sentinels of user-friendly order. And as if that weren’t enough, the reading experience ascended to new heights—tap the middle of a page, and voilà! Menus unfurl, the Table of Contents beckons, and Reading Settings await your command. In a final act of brilliance, the screen refreshes after each chapter, sparing you the tedious blink every six pages, because in this universe, even pixels deserve a break.
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.
