Kobo Glo eReader - Silver

E Ink is electronic ink that offers a glare-free, print-on-paper reading experience. In Kobo eReaders’ E Ink display, there are microscopic particles of black and white ink mixed in with each pixel on the screen. As you turn pages in your eBook, different ink particles move to the surface of your screen, appearing as text and pictures that look just like print on a page.

Kobo eReaders use front-light technology that diffuses light across the page, rather than illuminating it from behind. Back-lit screens often cause eyestrain because they shine outwards, towards your eyes, and because they require glass screens that reflect light and create harsh glare. ComfortLight on Kobo eReaders allows you to adjust light brightness, and select eReaders with ComfortLight PRO allow you to also adjust blue light levels.

Kobo eReaders support English, French, French (Canada), German, Spanish, Spanish (Mexico), Italian, Catalan, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazil), Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, Turkish, Japanese, and Traditional Chinese.

No, the accessories are only compatible with devices that share the same name. For example, the Kobo Nia SleepCover is only compatible with the Kobo Nia.
