Kobo Aura One takes on the Kindle with a huge screen and water resistance

Https%3a%2f%2fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com%2fuploads%2fcard%2fimage%2f182661%2fkobo_aura_one

In Sep. 2014, Canada's Kobo was the first company to launch a waterproof e-reader, the Kobo Aura H2O. Now, the company has followed that up with the Kobo Aura One, which also doesn't mind getting wet, but has a larger screen encased in a thin and elegant body. 

The Kobo Aura One has a 7.8-inch screen — larger than its predecessor's 6.8-inch display, as well as Kindle Voyage/Oasis 6-inch screens. With a resolution of 300dpi (that's 1872x1404 pixels at that screen size), it's set to be the best-looking e-ink screen out there.

Despite its size, the Kobo Aura One manages to stay quite slim still with 195.2x138.5x6.9mm dimensions and a weight of 230g. Other specs are up to par: 8GB of memory, Kobo's ComfortLight PRO front lighting technology, which optimizes the reading experience depending on the time of day, Wi-Fi, a Micro USB slot and a claimed one month of battery life.  Read more...
