My Kobo Aura H20 is much better with the infrared screen which I why I say it’s the better Kobo model. This is unacceptable.ĭon’t get me wrong, for the cost, it’s great and it definitely fills a much needed hole but I can’t be but disappointed in the screen quality. Kobo Libra H2O es un libro electrónico resistente con el que podrás leer tus títulos favoritos con alta resolución. Highlighting is still a chore, responsiveness is still a bit slow, I still got a few freezes and I had to sometimes press twice on a certain application to launch it. The second issue is that despite this being a new model running the latest software, it’s still nowhere near as fast, smooth and fluid as my Kindle. The lighting also was not evenly distributed on both models and while using night mode, I saw that the higher you turn up night color lever, you start getting different color hues on the bottom (try it) which was a disaster to say the least. The text was washed, not bold enough and didn’t pop out as it does with My Voyage. My main gripe is with the screen quality and after going through 2 different Aura ONE models and extensively using both, I realized the screen was nowhere near on par with my Kindle Voyage. I personally prefer reading on a Kobo as opposed to Kindle. I also agree that indexing is better on a Kobo. I agree, the Aura One is a much better overall deal consider the features, size, customization and price. (You have to delete the index folder and replace it with an empty file of the same name).Īs someone who has used multiple Kobo and multiple Kindle e-ink devices, Kobo is a better choice, both for hardware and software. Personally, I turn off indexing on my Kindles because of this problem but Amazon does not make this easy. Amazon knows they have a problem (look at the google results) and they’ve done nothing to fix it. IMHO, what’s worse is that this is a problem that has existed since the Kindle’s birth. It simply is not a problem with Kobo software. In my experience, adding a thousand sideloaded books takes about 5 – 10 minutes to index on either the H2O or the Aura One. Now google Kobo indexing problem and you’ll find few issues. Even if the index doesn’t fail, it can take hours to index large numbers of sideloaded books. Why is Kobo Libra H2O better than Kobo Mini Is self-lit 40 bigger screen size 7vs5 6GB more internal storage 8GBvs2GB 1. Kindle doesn’t *tell* you that the index has failed, the device just slows down and eats battery life. ![]() You’ll see that “stuck books” (where indexing fails) is a problem, especially when sideloading lots of books. If you’re unfamiliar with Kindle’s indexing issues, you can see the problem for yourself by simply Googling Kindle indexing problem. ![]() There’s also one other factor that doesn’t get discussed much in the Kobo vs Kindle debate and that’s indexing. ![]() I'd certainly say that plugging in the USB cable, and right clicking the book files, Send To > Kobo (D:), is easier.Ĭompare that to composing an email, attaching files, connecting to a wifi network, syncing.FWIW, the screen quality of *my* Aura One is every bit as good as my Kindle Voyage and the larger size makes the KA1 screen (much) much better.Īdd in the far better typography controls, double the storage AND the cheaper price (when converted to US dollars) and I’d choose the Kobo Aura One over the Kindle Voyage, any day. With the Kobo, until now I still have to connect it to my laptop. I just need to email the files, and sync using wifi. (2) transferring files to Kindle is easier. Only thing I've found as a con, was that the screen does 'ghost' sooner, (darn e-ink) so I've just set my page refresh to every 3 pages, not 5, and it's all great! I actually chose it, mostly because it was open source but also because I have a vidion disability, and the LOWER reflections, and better black:white ratio on the Kobo won me over. I too have a gen1 H2O Kobo, and my screen is just as matte as any other. That sounds like theres an actual issue with your screen.
