Looking for a new Kobo
Hey guys,
My Kobo Glo HD died last week after accidentally getting stepped on (don't ask), so I'm looking for a new device. Unfortunately the Glo HD does not appear to be available anymore at our local stores. I purchased an Aura Edition 2 but am generally disappointed, it's certainly not worth almost as much as I paid for the Glo HD. If it helps, I'm from Canada, so Kindle and Kobo are pretty much what I'm looking at here.
Right now I'm looking at eBay or Amazon, and have whittled it down to the original Aura, a Glo HD, or a Mini. I have a few questions;
-How's durable is the original Aura? I hear it has a glass screen, so would it be one to scratch/break easily?
-Also how's the screen, since it uses glass (more glare?) and a lower resolution than the Glo HD? The Edition 2 resolution is starting to grow on me, although I balk at the price compared to what I paid for the Glo HD, to use that as a yardstick.
-How are custom fonts on the Mini? I believe I read somewhere that the Mini was around the 160s in terms of dpi.
-Do the Aura and Mini have Pocket integration?
-To anybody who has the Kobo Clip light for the Mini, how well does it work compared to a frontlight? I see a local Craiglist posting that bundles a case and the light with a Mini, which I'm also considering.
-Also, any recommended sellers on eBay/Amazon?
Basically the most important things for me are Pocket integration, readability, and also custom fonts, which should be no problem with the patching system.
Thanks in advance for your help!
