Should I get Kobo Aura One+Cover for CAD 210?

CalbertAmu · 04-11-2017, 08:13 PM

A new one by itself costs CA$250, the cover $60. I would not buy them at full price but I think this deal is just too good. I've been reading about the disadvantages of KA1, and there is a chance it might be a model with the green blotch/uneven light.

I have a PW3 that I will sell if I like the Kobo. Or else I could sell the kobo again. Any suggestions?

Is the comfort light a dealbreaker for you? If you really don't care about it it's a no brainer. You'll never see the blotchiness if you just use the regular light on not the comfort light. Generally there is no issue with the regular light.

The comfort light is one of the features I like about it, but I don't mind reading with regular light. Thanks, I'll buy it.

I believe the Comfort Light is the regular light; The Natural Light is the one that causes the green blotches?

I hate the way marketing names these things: according to the website, Comfort Light is the regular "white" lighting. The red/natural/blue reduction version is the Comfort Light PRO

. It's the extra "non-white" LED's in the Comfort Light Pro that cause the green blotches when in use.
