Power adapter for Kobo Lookbook

KonaJulie · 11-02-2011, 11:03 AM

Does anyone know where this is available?
I just purchased a LookbookDoes at Ross and the power adapter is missing. Trying to decide whether to return it.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the Lookbook is not made by Kobo. It seems to be made by a generic company based of the literati which is a low budget sort of crappy reader that will work with the Kobo store. As for adapters don't know where you could find one if it's a generic plug in radio shack or future shop might carry them. Good Luck.

It looks like you need one with the following characteristics:

DC 5.0 Volts, 1.5 Amps

Not sure though of the tip needed, or the polarity.

I would suggest buying a AC adapter at Wal-mart.

Also do you know if it comes with an adapter? My Kobo Touch didn't it just came with a Micro-USB cable.

The LookBook was meant to come with an adaptor. See FCC ID for the FCC certification, in particular the Test Report where it lists what came with device.

Adapter information: Model: HNC050150U;
Input: AC 100-240 V 50-60 Hz 0.45 A;
Output: DC 5.0 V 1.5 A
