I am planing to buy a new ereader after the latest disappointing Sony release. My first option is Kobo Glo, but I could gather from the forums that the Kobo readers are not capable of pinch to zoom and reflow in pdf documents. Is it the case with Kobo Glo too?

Ahh cool. I only noticed the Staples because I browse there occasionally when I have to buy stuff from there. (My husband works across the street from a Staples, so I sometimes look around when we meet for lunch).

Actually, its no longer "The Source by Circuit City"; now it's "The Source (Bell)".

No. The Glo (and Mini) isn't capable of tabletish things like pinch to zoom. And PDF reading is indeed a horrible experience on 6" eInk devices.

The idea of the Mini, with shirtpocket size, really appeals to me. Elsewhere, I read that it is a 5" 600x800 display, so the e-ink pixel density must be higher than the 6" 600x800 e-ink readers previously available.
And, BTW, it uses the e-ink Pearl display -http://www.eink.com/customer_showcase_kobo_mini.html The Kobo web site states "Vizplex V110 display" From another site: "Vizplex is the name of the e-ink screen, Pearl is simply the designation of the latest version of Vizplex..." I confirmed this by looking at the Power-On screen on my Sony 950, which has the Pearl display - it says Vizplex while booting up. Last edited by EldRick; 09-09-2012 at 04:14 PM. |

Not that I'm necessarily disagreeing with you. I guess I'm saying the UI is a bit awkward and it might be nice to have a few more sort orders such as books in last read by date descending and books added to library by date descending. Note that I'm a computer programmer/software developer and I like giving users more options. Sometimes maybe too many options. |
