Kobo Aura One review - Page 20

xtine · 08-30-2016, 01:51 AM

On the Kobo Sleepcover page on Kobo's website, it shows the cover with a power button on the back. Does this mean you only need to pull back the cover a little bit and push the button to wake it up from sleep if you already have the cover folded back?

Isn't that the one that was only available for a tiny group of people? I always saw that one as an experimental reader...

In the category: easily available (placed in its time and place) you have the Kindle DX, but also the Iliads and don't forget the Sony 900 series! and recently the Onyx Boox. But all those devices, beside the Boox, are ancient (for electronic devices).

From the photos, as you hold the reader in front of you the folded part of the cover is to the left and the blue button at the back to the right, so you'd have no problem accessing it as you would do without cover.

Put it in as an Attachment. When we click on it, it'll be large.

Review in Italian:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT3VuGT0YyY

As you can see from the video from 2:45 onwards, he opened the ereader and said the memory is soldered, so it cannot be exchanged with a bigger microSD card as with previous Kobo ereaders (same as the original Aura IIRC)

bartveld · 08-30-2016, 08:49 AM

A Dutch reviewer states that the reset hole has disappeared. He hasn't yet figured out how a reset would be accomplished. Any ideas?

He is the best hardware reviewer in Italy.
He said that there are 3 aspect to prefer the one to the others eReader in commerce.
1) the large and more defined display in commerce
2) luminosity sensor with natural gradient
3) water proof

this is the written review: http://mobile.hdblog.it/2016/08/30/k...ne-recensione/
is interesting for everyone because put a detailed macro of the screen in comparison with the other ereader

It's interesting because finally someone dared to open this baby up.

Forget best reviewer in Italy, he's the best reviewer in the whole universe!!!

Aaand... yup... no interal sd card

and tons of glue for each connector.

Nope, in that case he would have written in a language that more than just Italians could read...

But indeed, he was daring, opening up the device

frostschutz · 08-30-2016, 09:45 AM

I don't speak a lick of italian either (despite 9 years of latin at school of which I don't remember a single word) but Google Translate seems to do a decent job, at least what I read made sense.

He is the best looking reviewer. We (some ladies here and myself) already noticed him a while ago. I think it was for the H2O or the voyage....
