The Kobo eReader has a 6-inch E-Ink display, and like most other models, will slip easily into a jacket pocket or bag. It weighs 185g, a touch heavier than the new Amazon Kindle, but lighter than the Kindle Touch which is available in the US. The diamond patterning is surprisingly nice to hold, giving your fingers a little something extra to hang on to. Don't worry, it isn't actual quilt, but the plastic feels sturdy enough. The Kobo eReader is well built, finished with an interesting "quilted" back. In the UK this is aided by partnering with WHSmith, giving Kobo a high street presence and storefront through the WHSmith website. With the Kobo eReader, the company is moving from purely content to hardware and the content to read, so like Amazon, it gets to provide a more complete solution. Kobo has been active in the ebook market for some time, probably familiar to those smartphone users who might have seen the app preinstalled on their device. Sony (and many others) on the other hand offer open format support, but don't then have the provision across platforms, or the same integrated bookstore experience.
