Kobo Touch vs Nook Touch

shivan3000 · 11-15-2011, 07:38 AM

So I've been thinking about getting a ereader for a while and I have decided between these two. Both are $99, have touch and supports epub, all major pluses. The only disadvantage with the Nook is that it does not natively support cbr which could be a dealbreaker for me(I would like to read comics). So what I am wondering is for owner's out their which one do you prefer if you tried both? Also for any one out their who owns a Kobo how well does the cbr reader work I would like to know thanks.

Why not convert cbr to epub with Calibre?
BTW you can buy a refurb STR from B&N for $79.
Might be an option for you.

Reading comics on a 6 inch eink screen is not going to be very pleasant. If your main reads are comics I would suggest a tablet with an LCD screen.
