Just remember that the Kobo ebook readers are... ebook readers, not tablet, if i want to have android and play store and install app i buy a tablet, if i want to read a digital book under the sun in the same way i read a paper book, i use my Kobo.
Ciao Gabriel thank you for the attention,


I do not want a tablet(also if unavoidable it is where eink readers are going as trend), but at least a decent ereading experience, that with regret I do not have coming down to highlight management and dictionaries.

Android/IOS small developers apps update their programs almost on monthly basis, KOBO and KINDLE not! An ereader should offer me at least all the features Sony was offering since 8 years ago, in fact for instance 8 years ago I was having already on Sony prs650 really valuable licensed dictionaries Oxford American, Oxford English, Dutch VanDale etc, today... not! And this is just as example. LEt alone if I speak to you how is disappointing the impossibility to use a...dictionary... on PDF on H20 kobo for that price! Instead of the water protection stick with the basis KOBO!!!


First of all for the annotations, according to Kobo Inc there is not way to import the thousands of notes I have on Sony and to be honest they could at least give a script,please see number 11 on this link! They even suggest me to write again my notes from scratch...

Second Kobo GLO HD is a great hardware device no doubt about that, great power, amazing design, quality materials, amazing screen... but does not offer me all the BASIC features I need as normal no fiction reader!

like in the below already mentioned link

that is why i need more apps, not for playing around( also if i would love play chess and have an open android system, considering tha bad tablet battery) but to insure some basic eread features I just do not have with Kobo and Amazon.



Please Kobo become the new Samsung, before others, you are 80% hardware, 20% software, this is wrong! Bookworms see substance, they go deep, analyze and want nice reading experience, and Android is just hot, an added value feature really valuable even if not linked( but not sure) with ereaders
