Smile Pocket intergarion - Touch?
Hi guys!

I am completely new to e-readers, but the whole package looks appealing, so I am thinking about buying one.

I like Kobo because of the pocket integration and because they are supposed to be quite good at displaying pdf files. I am not planning to using it only for pdf, but I have some school books that are not available in any other format.

About pocket: which kobo e-readers support it currently? Whole lineup? Specificly, I am interested in Touch. It is not too expensive and I don't think I am going to miss glowing e-ink display from glo. (higher resolution display would be nice, tho).

what do you think?

cheers

All the current e-ink ereaders except the Mini have Pocket on them. They don't have it out of the box as it has been added in the recent firmware updates.

The Touch is a good ereader. There are two in my house that are just coming up to their second birthday. But, if you can stretch your budget, I think the Glo is worth the extra money. When I upgraded, I was after the higher resolution and the slightly faster CPU. I was not expecting to use the light. But, I probably use it more than a quarter of the time.

Thx, for your reply.


Yes, glo looks nice, I must say. But the price difference is around 40-50€, which is not negligible.

About the higher res display, does it make reading much more comfortable? Or could you easily live without it?

cheers

That's a bigger difference than here. Though the Touch has been discounted recently, so it is closer.

Not now When I pick up the Touch now, the screen looks horrible compared to the Glo. I adapt quickly, but it feels good to go back.

For now I ordered touch, listing price was 70€, which is ok, I think.

The "only" problem is that it says 14 days to deliver, which usually means, it is out of stock and touch being discontinued... :S

we'll se
