Review: Kobo Glo HD eBook reader

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

The Kobo Glo HD's 6” HD Carta E Ink touchscreen with a 1448 x 1072 resolution 300 pixels per inch is no gimmick, it really looks super crisp and clear. Kobo also still maintains the most even backlighting in the market which ensures great visibility in any lighting condition.

While rival Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite has received nominal updates and minor tweaks, the Kobo Glo HD line has progressed in a more evolutionary fashion and the Glo HD is the current pinnacle of this technology.

The Alcatel Idol 3 hits some of the major hallmarks that users look for in a flagship device and it does so at a fraction of the price of the competition.
