Kobo Glo 6" Touchscreen 2GB Wi-Fi Pink,White e-book reader

15.24 cm (6 ") XGA Pearl E-Ink touchscreen 1024x768, 1 GHz, 2GB, Micro SD, Wi Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Micro USB, Pink Sunset <b>Incredibly even</b>

Kobo Glo's revolutionary ComfortLight illuminates the screen with a soft, adjustable glow so you can read any eBook any time of day under the perfect light. In fact, Kobo Glo is proven to be the most even 6" front-lit eReader* — no lamp required.

<b>ComfortLight is the right light</b>

Whether you're a bedtime reader tucked in under cozy covers while your partner sleeps, or sneaking a late-night read in your most comfortable chair, Kobo Glo illuminates the story you're reading, not the room, so you (and only you) can enjoy an incredible reading experience even in the middle of the night.

<b>ComfortLight illuminates the page, not your face</b>

Read whenever you like, even in the middle of the night. Kobo Glo's revolutionary no-glare ComfortLight technology directs light at the page, not your eyes for a completely comfortable reading experience. Plus, ComfortLight is fully adjustable so you can create your own perfect light. Say goodnight to eyestrain!

<b>Get closer to your eBooks</b>

Because Kobo Glo uses infrared touch technology, it doesn't need extra layers of material like Kindle Paperwhite does. This means that there's less material between you and your eBooks for the clearest display.

1) LED lights illuminate the screen with a soft glow, which the durable, anti-reflective front-light guide spreads across the display more evenly than other leading eReaders.*

2) The high-res Pearl E Ink screen has a high contrast ratio for ultra sharp text.

<b>Experience the ultimate readability</b>

Enjoy a more comfortable reading experience thanks to Kobo Glo's 6" high-res XGA Pearl E Ink touchscreen. The ultra-thin, durable screen displays each word at its finest thanks to E Ink and a 212 pixels-per-inch resolution. That means that tiny particles of ink are mixed in with every pixel so text pops off the page for the most paper-like 6" E Ink display.* Add to that a high-contrast ratio and you can see why Kobo Glo has an incredibly clear and crisp reading experience. It's just like print on paper, only better.

<b>Play with your fonts</b>

TypeGenius lets you choose from 10 font styles and 24 font sizes, with adjustable weight and sharpness settings. Plus, you can set your own margins. It's easy to create your own ideal reading experience!

You can even select a font designed exclusively for Kobo by typography experts. It leaves more ink on the screen so words appear sharper and crisper than ever before.

<b>A personal reading experience</b>

Make each eBook your own with in-text annotations, dictionary look-ups, bookmarks, and notes. Reading something with a lot of pictures? Zoom in up to 200%, pan around images, or change page orientation all with your fingertips. It's how Kobo Glo lets you get really into your eBooks.

<b>Curate your collection</b>

Sort your eBooks alphabetically, by title, or by author name just as you would a physical bookshelf (sorry, colour coordinating isn't available on the Kobo Glo). Plus, it's super easy to keep track of your favourites with large cover images, multiple views, and custom lists. Now you just have to fill your library with eBooks!

<b>A truly responsive touchscreen</b>

Browse your library, look up words, and switch between screens quickly, easily, and intuitively with Kobo Glo's highly responsive touchscreen. This level of responsiveness is powered by an incredibly fast processor, designed to keep up with every Kobo reader, so no matter your reading pace, each page turns smoothly at the tap or swipe of your finger. Kobo Glo actually beats the already incredible Kobo Touch with a 20% faster processing speed. Plus, Kobo Glo is so lightweight you'll almost forget you're holding a device. Can't say that about a hardcover.

<b>Touch to turn</b>

SimpleTurn makes it easy to flip pages and jump between chapters. Just use your finger. A simple tap or swipe lets you devour your eBooks as quickly as you want. Plus, with a 1 GHz processor, Kobo Glo is 20% faster than the already incredible Kobo Touch and other leading eReaders. Tap right to advance, left to return, or switch to your preferred set up. That's right! You can customize your page turns as easily as you choose your own font or light level. Kobo Glo adjusts to you, not the other way around.

<b>Built-in Dictionary</b>

Ever come across a word you don't know? Of course you have! It's only natural. Well, you'll be glad to know that Kobo Glo comes fully loaded with the Merriam-Webster Collegiate® Dictionary. And you'll never lose your place when you do look up a word because it all happens right on the page with a tap of your finger.

<b>Instant translator</b>

Whether you're learning a new language or reading in your second, third, or fourth language, you can always look up instant translations of any words you stumble on. Expand your vocabulary as you read. The built-in translator is fluent in English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, and Portuguese, with more language to come.

<b>The perfect travel companion</b>

Imagine carrying 1,000 books with you wherever you go. Pretty terrifying, but not with Kobo Glo. At just 185 grams (6.5 ounces), Kobo Glo is lighter than most paperbacks, and 27 grams (0.5 grams) lighter than Kindle Paperwhite, so you can take up to 1,000 eBooks with you anywhere you go, no problem. Not enough? You can add up to 32 GB with a Micro SD card. That's enough for up to 30,000 eBooks. And since Kobo Glo is small enough to fit in your jacket pocket, at 114 x 157 x 10 mm (4.5 x 6.2 x 0.39 in), it's the front-lit eReader that goes where you go.

<b>A portable library</b>

There's nothing worse than finishing a great read without something to go on to next. Luckily, with Kobo Glo you'll never have that problem! With 2 GB of internal memory and the option to expand up to 32 GB with a Micro SD card, Kobo Glo can store up to 30,000 of your favourite eBooks and documents, so you can keep reading as long as you want.

<b>Read as long as you like</b>

Never worry about your battery dying mid-chapter; a single charge on the Kobo Glo lasts up to a month for continuous reading on the go.

<b>Superior durability</b>

Take Kobo Glo everywhere you go without worrying about scratches or damage, because Kobo Glo has the most durable 6" E Ink eReader screen.

<b>Dress up your Kobo Glo</b>

Even our protective accessories are high tech. The Kobo SleepCover in canvas or leather isn't only stylish, it's functional, too. Opening the cover automatically awakens your Kobo Glo and closing it puts your device to sleep on a plush, protective interior.
