Technical SpecificationsHow is the availability of ebooks?
The main reason people will gravitate towards e-readers is because the e-paper displays are as close as you can get to real paper. In your eyes, staring at a device that supports e-paper can be significantly easier than reading from a smartphone, tablet or computer, as it does not tire them out. The long battery life is also a very compelling point because some devices only need to be recharged every couple of weeks, depending on usage. Additionally, people who only read a few chapters a day on their device can easily get away with over a month.
Kobo is one of the best brands out there because it supports sideloaded content that’s cheaper than buying them directly. Rakuten Kobo supports 12 fonts and 50 different font sizes. Rather than limiting sideloaded content to books only, it supports EPUB, EPUB3, MOBI, CBR and CBZ. When you open a sideloaded book, it allows you to be able to adjust the font type, font size, line spacing and weight. Kobo is one of the few brands that support the sideloading of fonts, so you don’t have to settle with the defaults. Rakuten Kobo offers millions of titles and also includes any books they publish on their own. Kobo is the global number two player behind Amazon. The selection and prices are set by the publisher meaning there is little to no price difference between buying from Amazon or Kobo. What is the difference between Kobo models?
