(Discontinued) premium 6-inch e-reader with ClarityScreen technology and high-quality, frameless, low-glare display featuring E Ink Pearl technology that provides paper-like reading experience, even in direct sunlight.

This e-reader also features pinch-to-zoom functionality, allowing you to see every detail when enlarging PDFs and individual books. You can also change the font size with a simple swipe of your finger. The body is designed to fit in hand like a hardcover book.

2022. Kobo is now displaying advertisements on their e-readers
Kobo is now featuring advertisements on most of their e-readers when they wake from sleep mode. A full-page ad now appears, encouraging users to subscribe to Kobo Plus and informing them about the free 30-day trial. This ad is displayed regardless of whether Wi-Fi is turned on or off, as the image is retrieved from the device rather than the internet. This is the first instance of Kobo displaying ads on their e-book readers. Kobo has previously emphasized in their marketing campaigns that, unlike the Kindle, their devices are free from advertisements, but this no longer seems to be the case.
