Kobo Glo is a decent Paperwhite alternative with Epub format support and microSD card slot. But with a lacklustre e-book library compared to Amazon, the company has long way to go before it can be replaced with a Paperwhite....
Abstract: READ NEXT: How to find the best free UK Kindle booksAll Amazon’s ebook reader devices have exclusive access to Amazon’s ridiculously large library of ebooks and magazines, which are largely reasonably priced and many of which are free. The downside is tha...
The ComfortLight touchscreen is both beautiful, responsive, and easy on the eyes. Minimalist physical design. Good OS and highly customisable
While the battery life isn't horrible, I wish it lasted a little longer. The high level of font customisation could prove confusing or troublesome for older, non-techie users

Abstract: Kobo has been producing good ebook readers for some time, keeping pace with Amazon's Kindle and even beating the bookseller to the launch of a touchscreen reader. Now Kobo has launched an ereader with a backlight at the same time as Amazon's Kindle Pap...

There are lots of reasons to get the Kobo Glo. It's intuitive, user-friendly and responsive. The backlighting is the perfect answer to all those who wish they could use their e-readers low lighting. And having access to the WH Smith e-book collection is a...
User-friendly, bright screen, ePub support, good value, expandable storage
Touchscreen not always responsive, boxy design
The Kobo Glo is a great e-reader, and the rather functional design is more than made up for by the device’s light, its ease of use and open approach to e-book formats....
