Question about the Kobo Ereader Touch
Can the touch edition zoom in on your manga/comics if they are not PDFs? it says it can zoom in by double tapping in PDF's I am wondering if it can zoom in on Epub,CBZ,CBR files. I currently have a Sony PRS-T1 and I would switch to this device because it has a larger micro SD card support if it has zooming features for other file types.
Thanks for the help in advance. |

Yes, you can zoom in on .CBR and .CBZ comic book files. It's pretty nice. However, for comics reading, I recommend the Glo instead of the Touch. It has higher resolution, and the frontlighting makes for better contrast. Both these features make it easier to see fine detail in a drawing. I have had both a Touch and a Glo, and the Glo blows the Touch away when it comes to CBR, CBZ, and PDF as well.

Ah, ok sounds good how does the zooming work exactly can you pan around and does it try to make the image clearer when zoomed? Is the Glo a lit screen? I prefer my screen to be E-ink due to the long battery life.

Yes, you can pan around.
No, I don't think it has image-enhancement software. It just blows it up. Yes, that's what I meant by "frontlighting". Yes, the Glo is an e-ink screen. The lighting does not affect the long battery life much. You can learn about the differences between the Touch and the Glo at Kobo.com. The Glo is more expensive, but IMHO worth it, especially if you'll be reading a lot of comics and manga. |
