Rakuten recently bought Shelfie, they plan on integrating it into Kobo. Part of that will, supposedly, improve their recommendations.

I doubt it. It's so much a mismatch, on many levels. I doubt they even think that people might like to read books that are not written in their mother tongue.

Frankly, I wish they'd improve the categories and the ability to drill down a search at the Kobo bookstore; that would result in more sales to me than pushing the odd title to the home page of my device. |

Hmm, I understand why Kobo want to create an ecosystem, but I think they'd be better off to focus on usp's. The ecosystem battle they are doomed against amazon, whereas if they focus on building open standards the ecosystem will follow.

I like the size, it is really better than the 6" reader. Hate the awful markering and screen sensitivity of Kobo devices in general though.

But I would want them to add note taking functionality at that size. Dual touch. Being able to use your fingers while reading, but able to use a stylus for taking notes or sketching. That would be ideal. In the meantime, the KA1 will suffice. |

So far I haven't found any ebook store whose recommendations come close to what I would choose to read with any consistency. All too often, they don't get the genres right never mind picking authors that I would like to read. One example is that I like J. D. Robb's In Death series which somehow gets translated into a desire to to purchase Nora Roberts' ebooks (yes, I know they are the same person).

I bought the Aura One for the larger screen-- which to me, makes a huge difference, YMMV-- and the integration with Overdrive. I have saved money on books that I would have purchased but were available from the library. The only thing I dislike about the OD integration is that you are supposed to get an email when a book that you are in line for is added to your device. I had a book added and did not receive an email so it was there for a couple of days before I even noticed it.
Another reason for the Aura One love is Pocket. I never used it before and didn't give it much thought when I first got the device but then I realized how many times I pull up the Times or other news article and promise myself that I'll get back to it later. Then I close the browser and totally forget about it. Now, I just hit the button and it's on my device. It's an extra bonus that I can read for much longer on the reader than on the computer so I've just begun to push all my web browsing to the Kobo and reading it from there. |
