Kobo Touch Blue

by Kobo

Named #1 Editor’s Pick by Wired Magazine (Jan 2012). Smaller, lighter, faster than the original Kobo eReader. Infrared Touch Screen lets you turn pages, bookmark locations, adjust font size and type, and search for favorite books with the swipe of a finger. Touch with anything - the Kobo Touch is so sensitive you can even use a gloved hand. The new 6" E Ink Pearl screen offers higher contrast and faster refreshes compared to previous Kobo Readers. Built-in Wi Fi connects you directly to the Kobo bookstore to shop over 2.3 million eBooks, newspaper and magazine subscriptions. Get a preview or sample for any book, sync content and bookmarks and download books instantly. Virtual keyboard for easy typing and auto suggestions as you type keywords. The Kobo Touch is lightweight and compact, and fits easily into a purse or jacket pocket. The signature soft quilted back creates a book-like experience.

Still waiting for my beloved Kobo to arrive

I've pre-ordered it two weeks ago and I am now waiting painfully for the local bookstore to restock. However, I've played with the demo ereaders at the bookstore and I was so thrilled because of the new features, such as the touchscreen and the page-roller. It's smaller than the old gen (which I have already sold to upgrade to the new one) and I've already immersed myself in my daydreams in which I am carrying my new Kobo, sitting on the sky train, holding it and reading it and looking all high-tech.

Anyway. The font style and size adjustment are more convenient, as well, compared to the old one. I've also tried the touchscreen keyboard and the search function. Oh oh oh, and I can't wait to get started on my quest to acquire all book awards--gosh, I'm such a kid, haha.

PLEASE HAVE MORE STOCKS SOON!!! I WANT IT IN MY HANDS AND IN MY POSSESSION!!!! 3 3 3

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my Kobo. this is my 2nd Kobo. I bought the first version when it first came out and upgraded to this version. I was also in the store not long ago and couldn't say enough good things about it to 2 customers who were curious about the device. I gave it such good reviews that they both ended up buying one.....I should have asked for commission!

I love my first Kobo touch which I have had since the first of July. My husband discovered it and so I bought him one through Chapters for his Nov, birthday. It is this one that has quit working ( after 8 weeks of use). It is defective. It happens. Chapters just sell them and after 30 days they do not care and Kobo-well it has been since Dec 10th and they are still telling me things to try to make it work. It is a dud!! Face up to it and re

I have a Kobo Touch. It works fine. However, customer service is HORRIBLE! I have an issue with an ebook I ordered. I can't talk to anyone that can help me because my issue has been elevated (their words, not mine) to Tier 2. Can't phone anyone in Tier 2, not possible, can only talk to the people that answer the phone but can't make any decisions regarding my account. This has been ongoing for a week and I am absolutely no further ahead. My advice is to buy a Kindle.

Customer service is absolutely HORRIBLE!! I reported a problem with an ebook I bought a week ago. My problem has been escalated (their word, not mine) to Tier 2. Can't speak to anyone in Tier 2,apparently it is not possible to physically speak to anyone that can make a decision. A week is unacceptable to resolve my issue. My suggestion is to buy a Kindle Reader!!!

I was surpised to hear of the difficulty one reviewer made. The first Kobo I bought was the Kobo Wi-Fi, then bought the Kobo touch, then I bought one for my husbands birthday. We could not be happier.!!! We have had to contact Kobo several times and I cannot begin to tell you what good service we have gotten. They got back to me in record time and they were so helpful. I would never in a heartbeat buy anything other than a Kobo. There are lemons in everything one can buy. LOVE LOVE LOVE MY KOBO

Kim Payne
