Kobo Glo vs Kindle Paperwhite 2 4GB

Dave329 · 12-02-2014, 06:10 AM

Ok I have decided to extend my budget and consider the PW2.The Kobo is cheaper(2/3rd the price of PW2 in my country) than the Paperwhite but the kindle has a carta screen screen. the kobo also has more font optons.Which one is better?

In my opinion the Paperwhite 2. Get the best screen possible for the price. Can install KOReader to read non-drm epubs and other formats if you want to. IMO very good value at the moment. Also, the Amazon eco-system is, once again IMO, much better than the Kobo one. It is also often cheaper and there is a much wider variety. Of course, if it is okay in your country to remove DRM you should install Calibre and Apprentice Alf's plugins which opens up all of the main "ecosystems" to you and lets you keep a "futureproof" backup of your books.

It depends on your needs. The Glo is smaller, and you can add your own fonts, and change your margins to suit you. I prefer it over the KPW2.
