It’s going for $179 right now, and I can’t say whether or not that’s worth it. The difference is in a 6.8in screen, waterproofing, and it includes the ComfortLight Pro. It fits right between the Aura and Aura One. The brand new Aura H2O (for the record, I’m not a huge fan of the name). I would save that money and go for the Aura Edition Two.īut wait, there’s another model I haven’t had the chance to test yet. I loved the ComfortLight Pro, but to me the size matters - and the Kobo Aura’s size is perfection to me. That gets you a bigger screen, the ComfortLight Pro, and 4 more gigs of storage. The Kobo Aura One, however, is a little harder to swallow. The Kobo Aura is competitively priced at $119, but currently sits at $99 at the time of writing this.

The only downside I could find was that the ComfortLight Pro on the Aura One was a little finicky when auto-adjusting, but it wasn’t anything to write home about.Īnd I only had to charge the devices during initial setup to last me through the entire time I had them, which was 30 days. It was a really enjoyable experience overall. The touch screens were responsive, and navigating to the books, turning pages, and finding my way around was not a struggle at all.

When it came down to reading the books, the Kobo software was intuitive and easy to use. I have yet to finish either of them, but that’s just because I had to give the Kobos back.

Kobo was kind enough to load a few books onto a Kobo account for me, and on one device I was reading This Book Is Full of Spiders and on the other I was reading The Road. TESTING & SOFTWAREīasically, I read two books at the same time, but finished neither in the review period because, well, remember what I said about Stephen King’s IT and how long that took me? I’m not a slow reader, I just don’t have a lot of time to sit around reading, so I just adapted these Kobo devices to my normal routine. I don’t need a giant screen on my eReader, I want something portable, and the Aura is just the right size to use with one hand as I’m trying to read without keeping my wife awake. I much more prefer the Aura’s small size over the the Aura One’s big screen, but I much more prefer the ComfortLight Pro that the Aura One has. Unedited photo to show size and color differences between Aura One & Aura.Īnd this is exactly what I mean when I say if the Aura and Aura One were combined, they’d be the perfect eReaders. This is something I wish the Aura, and hell the Kindle Paperwhite, had. Think of it as like the iPhone’s Night Shift feature, but for your eBook. It filters the blue light out of the screen, giving it a reddish tint, so it helps you with eye strain and falling asleep when you’re reading at night. The only true difference, other than size, comes down to one feature I’m absolutely in love with: the Aura One comes with something they call ComfortLight PRO. The screens on both devices are gorgeous and easy to read in the dark or in direct sunlight. SCREENS Ambient light sensor usually gets it right. Both are plenty, and both have batteries that last up to a month on a single charge. The Aura has 4gb of storage, and the Aura One has 8gb of storage. Yeah, take it in the bath with you, put on some music, and drown out the screaming kids in the living room while your significant other deals with it for a while.
Same micro-USB port, just, you know - waterproof.

The main difference is in what the screens can do, plus the Aura One is waterproof. The Kobo Aura One is the bigger sister to Aura, and it looks almost exactly like it - except it has a 7.8in HD display and touch screen. On the front is a 6in HD e-ink display and touch screen. On the bottom is the micro-USB port for charging and some basic device information. It has a textured plastic back with an easy-to-find power button located on the upper right of the backside of the device (if the screen is facing you). Let’s start with the design of the Kobo Aura (Edition 2), which is the smaller of the two devices, and the most comparable to the Amazon’s Kindle. I decided to combine these reviews because these two Kobo devices both have upsides and downsides - and if you combined the two, they would be one killer device that would give the Kindle a run (more on this later). It’s a review of the biggest competitors Kindle has: the Kobo Aura & Aura One. I still liked it (except for that one sewer part, which I’m sure you all know about by now), but this isn’t a book review. So I own a Kindle Paperwhite and got 5-10 minutes of reading done at night. That’s a 1000+ page book that would have been impossible to lug around in addition to all that other stuff. I just finished reading Stephen King’s IT for the first time.
Why don’t I read hard copies anymore? Because I have to carry so many other things, including by not limited to: toy trains, diapers, water cups, snacks, dry clothes, and more.
