推荐型号：Aura H₂O、Aura one       、Clara HD
 
Founded in Toronto, Canada, Kobo's parent company has one of the largest e-book stores in the world, and Kobo's share of the e-book reader market is second only to Kindle, accounting for half of the e-book reader market in Canada and France in 2012, and it is also the second largest e-book retailer in Japan. In 2012, the Rakuten Group officially acquired the brand.
 
Kobo, which has products all over the world, is one of the most well-known e-book reader brands, but it still has no access to the Chinese market. In January 2018, Walmart announced that it had teamed up with Rakuten to exclusively sell Kobo's electronic devices and e-books in the United States, in an attempt to compete with the Kindle. In the e-reader reviews of Consumer Reports and PCmag in the United States, Kobo has several products on the list, second only to the Kindle.
 
One of the advantages of an e-ink screen over an LCD screen is that it can still display content clearly even in direct sunlight, but an e-reader without a backlight loses its function in the dark. Kobo products are often compared with Kindle, and there are indeed many similarities between the two, the difference is that Kobo's backlight can adapt to the environment, automatically adjust the brightness of the light, and there are more waterproof products than Kindle, and it also supports more file formats, but when it comes to reading ecology and mall resources, Kobo is still slightly inferior.
 
A 2GB reader can store thousands of e-books in a normal file format, and Kobo's three main products, Aura H₂O, Aura one, and Clara HD, all have 8GB of storage space, which is enough to hold a well-informed person who will never be able to read all the text materials in his life. These three products have different screen sizes and prices to meet different usage needs, and all use Carta screens, which are full of highlights in lighting and display effects.
 
The Aura one is a large-screen flagship with a size of 7.8 inches, a cutting-edge Carta screen that reduces choppiness and choppiness when turning pages, and although the edge thickness has been cut as much as possible, it is still quite heavier than the 7-inch Kindle oasis. Aura one has a built-in ambient light sensor, which can adapt to ambient light to adjust the color temperature with the application of Kobo's "comfort light pro" technology, so that people can immerse themselves in the joy of reading without being affected by the stimulation of screen light. This product is excellent in terms of water resistance, and has the same IPX8 rating as the Kindle oasis. For travel experts, taking Aura one to North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and other places can freely connect to local public libraries and experience the charm of civilization.
 
The Aura H₂O costs $179 and has a textured back that makes it easier to grip, with 265 ppi pixels per inch, which is not as good as the Aura one and even lower than the cheaper Clara HD. The Aura H₂O's screen size is 6.8 inches, which is clearer than the 6 inches of most Kindle products, and is more portable than Sony's large 13-inch screen, which balances the reading experience and portability. Like the Aura one, the Aura H₂O is IPX8 waterproof and can be read in the bathtub or poolside. The TypeGenius feature features a sharpness setting unique to Kobo, allowing users to choose from more than 50 font sizes and 11 font types.
 
The Clara HD is the smallest of the three and the lightest, weighing in at 168g and with a slight tapered back that makes it easier to grip, reminiscent of the Kindle Paperwhite in terms of size, features, and price, but much lighter than the latter. Both the light and the screen are the highlights of this product. The wirecutter review ranks the Clara HD as one of the best e-readers after the Kindle Paperwhite and Voyage. The downside is that this product is not waterproof and is more suitable for indoor use.
 
The Kobo reader is available through Haitao, and it's also worth noting that the product's native system doesn't support Chinese.
