Also they have the Glo HD left justified instead of full so we cannot see any possible hyphenation. Also, they never mentioned that the image in the PDF was not rendered as well. It was darker and had less detail. And then the front light was never compared.

Yet another botched review brought to you by the folks at GoodEReader.
And with all these "comparisations" they don't even bother to load the same book on both and display the same page left (kobo) and right (kindle) so u can really see the difference,because that is what you want to know.
Bring up the same book,set it on the same page,equal fonts and compare.
Now it is the same as walking into a big tvshop and compare all the tv's but they are all on different channels.
It is nice to see page turns,it is nice to see different options,but the main thing I want to know is what can I get when I turn it into reading.

I can have all those beautiful options but if the screen isn't that right,it bothers me soon enough and I want to trade them all for a good view.
They only ,in this "review" take the same PDF,but only because they are difficult to display.
In the beginning they make the mistake, the Kindle use it's own format, the Kobo is for epub's.
WRONG. Both can display a lot more and Kobo has also his own format, the Kepub.
I can only say that the menu bar on the kindle with all the options is ugly,that is the only thing they display all the time.
