This is the smaller SD version of the Kobo HD that was launched earlier this year. Can this smaller device match what it offered, or does it launch offer even more as it has at least one feature that I have not noticed in other readers...

When it comes to eReaders, Kobo has made some serious inroads into the market, thanks largely to the work it has done with Australian booksellers to become the eReader of choice in the local market. This is incredibly important with the spectre of Amazon'...

Kobo , sold by WHSmith in the UK and sharing an ebook store with the high-street store, is the plucky underdog of the e-reader market. With more concentration on social sharing – book reviews, inspirational quotes and awards for prolonged reading – it see...

With the recent launch of Amazon's updated Kindle Paperwhite , Kobo has its work cut out with the Aura. It's the company's first new ebook reader since the Aura HD earlier this year, and sits below that device in the range. It's much smaller than the HD...

The Kobo Aura is like the Kobo Glo, but better: it has a sleeker design, twice as much storage, longer battery life, a multitouch screen and the handy Pocket feature. Once again, Kobo has won us over with an all-star product and an elegant design...

For a long time Kobo came close to releasing a decent alternative to the Kindle, but last year it finally got things right with the Kobo Glo – a great touchscreen eBook reader with an illuminated display that undercut the equivalent Kindle Paperwhite. Thi...

More expensive than the Paperwhite, No Pageflip feature...
The Aura is a great eBook reader. It is £20 more expensive than the Kobo Glo – which is still available to buy – but for my money it's a better designed and even more solid reader that fits slightly more comfortably in the hand. Of course, the new Kindle...

What is the Kobo Aura? The Kobo Aura is the smaller brother of the Kobo Aura HD . It's a light-up ebook reader. The Kobo Aura HD has a 6-inch high-resolution front-lit display, but its real selling point is the over-two-month-long battery life, giving it...

The Kobo Aura is here to take on the Kindle in the Christmas rush. When we last checked in with a Kobo e-reader, we were treated to the Aura HD, which came with a glorious 6.8-inch E Ink screen but was let down by its thickness, price and speed. Its su...
The Kobo Aura HD impressed us with its pixel packed screen and smooth fonts. The Kobo Aura's has a slightly lower overall resolution, measuring 1014x758, but its slightly smaller six-inch screen means the effective pixel density of 212ppi remains super sharp, and matches up to the premium Kindle Paperwhite. The gorgeous screen dominates the entire front portion of the e-reader, with just a thin b...
We're fans of the overall package that Kobo has put together with its latest Aura model, and to be honest, there's not much to fault it on as it's a solid product with a few top-notch features. On our review sample, however, there was a tiny little gap at the top between the screen bezel and the edge of the Aura that bled out a little light. While it's not a total deal breaker by any stretch, it...
Kobo's latest e-reader is a solid effort that comes close to rivalling Amazon's Kindle range, thanks to a solid high-resolution screen, excellent build quality and an evenly distributed frontlight. Throw in Pocket integration, great battery life and a...

Toronto company Kobo - an anagram of ‘book', incidentally - originally came into the ebook reader space with the idea of selling a more minimal, less expensive device. Times have changed since 2010, however, and the Kobo Aura is very much a top end gadget...
The core reading experience is a real pleasure, the integration of the Pockets web page saver is great too and we've plenty of time for the look, feel and the ComfortLight.
WiFi connection can be shaky, it's a touch pricey and it's prone to the odd glitch...
We really like the Kobo Aura. It does the core job very well and it's something of a pleasure to own. If Kobo could iron out the kinks, it'd be a stone cold, five star ereader...

When Kobo released the Kobo Aura HD earlier this year, its large, high-resolution screen immediately impressed. Kobo's latest eReader, the Aura, has a slightly lower resolution than its HD counterpart, and a more typical 6in display. However, it still man...
