Kobo Aura HD Review: The Best E-Reader Is Not a Kindle - Investorplace.com

Feb 14, 2014 9:40 am EST | To Brad Moon, InvestorPlace Contributor

While e-book readership is on the rise, demand for e-readers is on the decline as tablets surge in popularity. In just the past few weeks, Sony (SNE) Announced it was abandoning e-books and e-readers in North America, while Barnes & Noble (BCS) laid off Nook its engineering staff.

however, despite the clear trend toward using multipurpose tablets, the e-reader – with options like a Kobo Aura or an Amazon (AMZN) Kindle – is not dead.

And for good reason.

single purpose e-readers like the market-leading Amazon Kindle are cheaper, lighter and more compact than tablets. An e-reader’s battery lasts for weeks or months on a charge Compared To hours for a tablet. The E Ink (PVWIF) display used in e-readers is far less reflective and looks just as good outdoors as indoors. Plus, the front-lit displays do not result in the Sleeping Disorders That reading at night with a backlit tablet Potentially can cause.

I’m a tablet guy, but I love reading … and when it’s time to pick up an e-book, I set down my iPad and turn it an e-reader. I have a collection of the devices (the result of years of writing about consumer technology) and my go-to choice is the Kobo Aura HD from Amazon Japanese competitor Rakuten (RKUNF). Good as the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is, I would go so far as to say the best e-reader on the market Is That Kobo.

Read on for my full review Kobo Aura HD, Which will show why.

What We're Reading: Lytton Strachey, and Kindle Binge, Modern Dandies - New Yorker (blog)

Notes from the New Yorker staff on Their literary engagements of the week.

I recently bought a copy of Lytton Strachey’s “Eminent Victorians” at the ominously named Last Bookstore, in downtown Los Angeles. Last, but not first-the cavernous space opened just a couple years ago, and it was full of teen-agers, wondrously handling used paperbacks as if they were Polaroids or vintage seven-inch records. The best unintended Consequence of the devaluing of the book, described in George Packer’s recent piece about the Amazon has been the devaluing of the book-on the mezzanine, the Last Bookstore had a hundred thousand volumes, each selling for a dollar. “Eminent Victorians” was one of twenty books my wife and I jammed into the overhead compartment on our flight home.

Strachey, the biographical pioneer associated with the Bloomsbury group, devoted you are replacing, as he put it , “the two fat volumes … With Their ill-digested masses of material, Their slipshod style, Their tone of tedious Panegyric” to Which the recently dead had been Typically commemorated. His ambition was one of wit and psychological motivation. In practice, he put the bitchy in biography, filling his portraits with taunts and insinuations. It’s pretty fun.

“Eminent Victorians” Consists of four sections: Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale, Dr.. Arnold, and General Gordon. Strachey attempted it undercut the reverence felt for the Edwardians these stolid Victorians and to show them as humans-in fact, as especially hypocritical, blinkered humans. There is a fair bit of malice in his tone. Of Cardinal Manning: “Power had come to him at last, and he Seized it with all the avidity of a born Autocrat, Whose appetite for supreme dominion had been whetted by long years of enforced abstinence and the hated simulations of submission. He was the ruler of the Roman Catholic England, and he would rule. “Not exactly Kitty Kelley, but close enough for the period.

Of course, I had never heard of Cardinal Manning. Just Florence Nightingale, and maybe General Gordon of Khartoum something about. I often find myself reading these kinds of books, where not only do I not know the protagonist but I do not know the milieu, the references, or any of the other groundwork Assumes the author of his or her reader. I like piecing these things together. For a time, I subscribed this Tape Op , “the creative music recording magazine.” I did not know much about recording music, Creatively or un-, but I enjoyed slowly rendering of sense from the jumble of tossed-off technical references. Then you have something-a self-made knowledge, almost.

-Willing Davidson

George Packer is right is a question of Amazon’s effect on the publishing and book-selling industries, and Those with a Three Lives and Bonnie Slotnick or the Tattered Cover or around the corner-or even across town-should peruse them or lose them. But For those us who live in places where the books we want are not available-Packer touches on the point, writing, “Readers, especially isolated ones, adored Amazon”-The Importance of the Amazon can not be understated. I live in Switzerland, and Amazon is a lifeline. No one else is coming to give us “French Lessons,” Alice Kaplan’s 1994 memoir of language assimilation, or Rebecca Mead’s “My Life in Middlemarch,” the day it comes out. I know I’m late to the Kindle game, but one Showed up under the tree at Christmas, and, since then, I’ve been on a tear. Already I’ve bought, read, and been moved to more books than I did at the bookstore all of last year.

And, so: “Men We Reaped,” Jesmyn Ward’s account of the way America withers and bleeds black families, especially Their young men, five of whom-one of them her brother-died in her Mississippi hometown between 2000 and 2004 . “Little Failure,” Gary Shteyngart’s ode to / purge of his mother’s chicken Kiev. “Comfort & Joy” by India Knight, the perfect deep-masquerading-as-light novel for a flight. A book you should read anywhere but on a plane: “The Skies Belong To Us,” by Brendan I. Koerner, in which I learned That in 1972 a hundred and fifty-nine commercial flights where hijacked in the United States to “frazzled veterans, protect fabulists, compulsive gamblers, bankrupt businessmen, thwarted academics, career felons, and even lovesick teens. “

Anita Brookner’s

moody “Hotel du Lac” (“I had her down as a Belgian confectioner’s widow”). “The Collaborator,” another brilliant Alice Kaplan, about the trial and execution emblematic of the French collaborationist journalist Robert Brasillach. “Wave,” by Sonali Deraniyagala: shattering. Dana Goodyear’s “Anything That Moves,” delicious. “Keep It Simple,” an old Alastair Little cookbook that made me wish he would open another restaurant (if you want a tangerine peel in the daube de boeuf , do it yourself!).

“Five Days at Memorial,” Sheri Fink’s Exhaustive investigation of the logistical and moral tumult That consumed a hospital during Hurricane Katrina. “Red Love”-OK, I bought this one at Daunt Books, in London-In Which Maxim Leo examines his childhood in a true-believing family in the GDR George Packer’s own study of American inequality, “The Unwinding,” which I admire Particularly for offering as nuanced a portrait of my home state, North Carolina, as I have read.

Balzac april have the final word on the Amazon age, in “Le Père Goriot,” translated by AJ Krailsheimer:

Eugène de Rastignac

, for dry you his name, you One of those young men trained to poverty for hard work, who realize from Their earliest youth what Their parents expect of them, and from the start prepare for a successful career by working out the scope of Their studies, Adapting them in advance to future trends in society so they can be the first that exploit it.

-Lauren Collins

In honor of Fashion Week, I’ve been perusing the delectable “I Am Dandy: The Return of the Elegant Gentleman”-a book of photographs with Accompanying profiles of men who take great care over Their clothes. The project was a collaboration between Nathaniel Adams, a journalist who Manages the bespoke men’s atelier Against Nature (it’s the Angielski translation of the novel “À Rebours,” by Joris-Karl Huysmans-about an elegant man who arranges himself and his house as a series of exquisite tableaus) and Rose Callahan, a photographer and filmmaker, who runs the blog The Dandy Portraits.

Adams has been researching the history of Dandies for years, beginning with Beau Brummell, a nineteenth-century wit and confidant of King George IV, who banished the frilly collar and replaced it with the clean white cravat accented with a gold pin. “Byron said That the three most important men of his age were Napoleon, Byron himself, and Brummell, And that, of the three, Brummell was the one that he wanted to be,” Adams told me one day, when I visited his store . Adams searched for other characters in Brummell’s lineage: “There’s Oscar Wilde, obviously, but there’s also people like young Benjamin Disraeli, and Alfred d’Orsay,” a Frenchman who lived in a ménage à trois with a couple of eccentric Irish aristocrats, decorating Their houses with various halls of mirrors and elaborate red silks. “Most of them were outsiders-Disraeli was a Jew, Wilde was gay Irish-who sort of found Their Way inside, quite high on the social ladder, through creating these elegant personas.”

Sensing an upsurge of interest among men in spiffing up Their dress, Adams and Callahan traveled to London, Paris, Italy, and around the United States in search of contemporary Dandies. They visited the Churchwell brothers, two doctors from Memphis who learned how to dress from Their father, the first black civil-rights reporter at the Nashville Banner . For the years, he was not given a desk at the paper, so he worked from home, dressing in a pressed suit each morning, the brothers Appear in the book in handsome tan and dusky-blue bespoke suits. Robert Burton, of Ozone Park, Queens, is a soft-faced, heavily made-up, sorrowful-looking man who wears “a green frock coat affixed with small songbirds.” The men’s styles vary wildly. Sean Crowly, of Brooklyn, collects clothes and objects from Regency England, and is pictured in a robe with his large collection of spirits, Robert E. Bryan, former men’s editor at , has nothing in his house That is not Art Deco.

Dandies come in many types, Adams told me. “There’s the colloquial well-dressed man-everyone in the book fits into That definition. And then there’s another kind,: which is hard to define-it involves attitude, insouciance, aloofness. The one common thread Is That these men could not exist any other way. If they were on a desert island they’d be polishing Their shoes in squid ink and using fish scales for tie pins. “

Amazon starts selling its Kindle online in Brazil - NDTV

Amazon Inc.. started selling its Kindle online in Brazil on Friday, expanding from ebooks into retail for the first time in Latin America’s biggest and most challenging ecommerce market.

By shipping its ereader devices inmense across this country, Amazon will now get a taste of Brazil’s notorious logistics problems, widely seen as a deterrent for a full-fledged retail operation like the one it has in the U.S.

The world’s largest online retailer launched an Internet bookstore in Brazil in 2012, a low-risk landing on this $ 11 billion of emerging e-commerce market. Up to now, the Kindle was being sold at Bookshops, appliance stores and even kiosks in shopping malls.

“From the north is south, from east is west, we are going to be delivering products across Brazil,” said Alex Shapiro, a former Apple executive hired this command Amazon’s deployment in Brazil.

Historically

Brazilians have not been big readers and many Households have just a tiny number of books. But the country has a population of 200 million and a growing middle class.

According

this industry figures, Brazilians bought 435 million books in 2012 worth 4.98 billion reais. Shapiro said ebooks were about three percent of total Brazilian book sales.

The country has Relatively low Internet penetration and has become a promising new frontier for Internet giants dry as Facebook, Twitter and Amazon. Market research estimates companyeBit Brazilians spent 28 billion reais online last year, 25 percent more than in 2012.

But Latin America’s biggest economy is also known for its heavy tax burden, high labor costs and logistical bottlenecks that make e-commerce a serious challenge for newcomers.

Unlike in the U.S. where Amazon operates its own distribution network from mammoth warehouses, Shapiro said in Brazil the company will leave the shipment of its Kindle devices are external partners, Which he declined it identify.

“Logistics can be a challenge in Brazil but we also have to see the other side – Brazil is very advanced in terms of ecommerce,” the executive said.

The Kindle Paperwhite (Review and Pictures) will be sold through Amazon’s local website for 479 reais, almost double its U.S. price.

The company will not disclose numbers for its Brazilian operation, but Amazon’s overall international sales grew 14 percent to $ 29.9 billion in 2013.

Shapiro said Amazon will initially offer free shipment of its Kindle and allow customers to pay in up to 12 installments.

Get two Kindle Fire HDX Origami cases for $ 9.98 - CNET

It’s a good day to be an HDX owner! Plus: two software freebies that will not last long.

The rooCase Dual-View Folio Case protects your Kindle Fire HDX and doubles as a dual-orientation stand.

(Credit: rooCase)

Never, ever pay full price for a smartphone or tablet accessories. If you walk into, say, an Apple Store or Best Buy in search of a case or a sync / charge cable, you’re going to pay a huge markup. You’ll also find a much smaller selection than you would online.

Take, for example, the Origami Case for Amazon Kindle Fire HDX. It’s awesome, as it not only covers the screen, but also folds into various configurations That stand the tablet in portrait or landscape orientation. Alas, it’s $ 55

If you happened to grab an HDX the other day when I wrote about Amazon’s rooms (it’s still on – you can still get the 7-inch HDX for $ 199), here’s hoping you did not spend That kind of money on a case.

Because for a limited time, you can actually get two Kindle HDX similar cases (for the 7-inch model) for $ 9.98. That price includes shipping if you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber, or if you pad your cart is at least $ 35 Alternately, shipping adds $ 10, but that’s still a steal on a pair of cases That would cost you nearly $ 80 if purchased from a brick-and-mortar.

To get the deal, do this: Add the rooCase Dual-View Folio Case to your cart. Next, add the rooCase Slim Shell Case Origami to your cart. Then, when you get to checkout, apply coupon code W7Y7G8PQ . That’ll drop your total price is $ 9.98.

The rooCase Slim Shell is available in six different colors.

(Credit: rooCase)

Now, the Dual-View Folio Case you must get in black. But if you want the Slim Shell in a different color, you have five other options – each Requiring a different coupon code than the one Mentioned above:

• Slim Shell Blue MAZLXZI6
• Slim Shell Gray 6TBE32M9
• Slim Shell Magenta VXGBIXGO
• Slim Shell Purple SKBOHPIH
• Slim Shell Red D9ZISOBG

So, a recap, add the Dual-View Folio Case to your cart, then click the Slim Shell link, choose the color you want (black or one of the other five), add to your cart That , and then apply the Appropriate coupon code.

As you can see, both cases are very highly rated, and both give you better overall protection than Amazon’s Origami (which covers only the screen). Plus, both can fold up for that prized portrait / landscape viewing capability.

I realize not everyone owns a Kindle Fire HDX, but I hope this illustrates my point about accessories. I shudder to think of someone paying $ 30 to $ 60 for a tablet case when there are perfectly good alternatives for a fraction of the price.

Bonus deal: Game time! While “supplies” last, Bundle Stars is giving away the indie adventure game Pid (PC / Mac). Regular price: $ 9.99. All you have to to is sign into your Steam account, sign up for the newsletter Bundle Up, then wait for your license key to arrive. (Mine came within minutes.)’m Not sure how a small keys are available, but in between the time I started writing this post and the time I finished it, the “remaining keys” counter had dipped it around 12,000, then suddenly jumped up to over 26,000. So your chances of getting the game are good, at least as of this morning.

Bonus deal No.. 2: Speaking of freebies, the number of folks who need or want to copy Blu-ray discs is probably pretty small, but I’m sure they’re out there. And today only, Giveaway of the Day is giving away Aiseesoft Blu-ray Copy (Win), and regularly-$ 35 utility that – wait for it – copies of Blu-rays. The catch: You must install and activate the program before the clock strikes midnight. Be sure to click the correct download link and follow the setup / activation instructions, otherwise you’ll end up with only the trial version.

Test five e-book readers - Computer World (press release)

electronic book readers with screen type E-Ink have gained a lot of popularity. Coming by bus, you will find that at least a few people kinda makes your time reading. Interestingly, fewer and fewer people use traditional paper editions. A new trend is e-book readers with backlit E-Ink screens that allow comfortable reading even after dark. We tested five of the most interesting devices, including the popular Kindle Paperwhite II. Let’s see, which one to choose.

Shining screen

Electronic paper in terms of properties like traditional printed publications. Unfortunately, the E-Ink screens are much darker than the paper. The contrast of the text is therefore smaller. This does not change the fact that this is currently the best way to read electronic editions. To improve the ease of reading the producers have released a device with illuminated screens. Self backlight E-Ink is fragile, however, allows to obtain high contrast, and most importantly to read in the dark. In this test, three readers have the function: PocketBook Touch Lux, Onyx Boox After Glow and Kindle Paperwhite II. It works similarly, but the most natural and pleasant to the eye color of a Kindle. PocketBook Biel and Onyx is too cold.

difference between shining and niepod?wietlonym screen is enormous. Kindle Paperwhite II resembles a traditional book, appeared on PocketBook Mini is yellowed. Using the fingerprint reader requires good lighting.

Service

Also only these three models have a touch screen. If we count on a comfortable service, it is a necessary part of every reader. In terms of convenience distinguished Kindle. It has the most thoughtful and intuitive interface. There is not even a button for menu operation, yet all we can do very quickly. The only problem is the lack of Polish language. This model is not officially available on the market.

most functional interface can be found in PocketBook Touch Lux. It is useful, for example, the ability to switch between running in the background functions (multi-tasking). Both PocketBook and Onyx have physical buttons for paging through. This is a convenient solution. PocketBook models Mini, and Manta EBOOK04B serve buttons. Interfaces both models are transparent, but in the case of the Manta location of the keys is not considered.

Downloading e-books

All readers can be connected to your computer and copy e-books on the internal memory. However, this is not convenient. In addition to the Kindle tested models also have a memory card slot – use miniature microSD card is slightly better option. The most convenient way, however, to use an Internet connection. Users Onyx and PocketBook Touch Lux can buy books directly through the online bookstore reader. Kindle also, but Amazon store does not have Polish language items. Much more interesting are the functions of storing e-books in the Internet cloud, a sufficient reason to the reader has Wi-Fi module.

For Lux Touch PocketBook e-books can be stored on disk online Dropbox, Onyx supports Google Drive and SkyDrive. A slightly different, more convenient approach is to Amazon. Kindle Paperwhite II uses the Amazon cloud. To send an e-book to your device, just send an e-mail to the address assigned during registration to our reader. Amazon Cloud also supports converting files. After sending a message with the subject convert the attached file format: DOC, DOCX, HTML, RTF, TXT, JPEG,. JPG, GIF, BMP, PDF reader get an acceptable document AZW.

course to comfortably use a reader, you can use the tools to facilitate the synchronization. BuddyPrice Send to Kindle or more universal application Readbility allow you to send to the reader, for example, an article from a web page directly from the browser.

Manta has low resolution and errors in displaying shades of gray. Kindle Compared with image quality is poor.

Additional Features

main function tested e-book is to display electronic books. However, manufacturers equip their devices with other, sometimes more, sometimes less interesting features. If you like to read foreign-language literature will appreciate the English-Polish dictionary (PocketBook Touch Lux, Onyx Boox After Glow), may be useful to the notebook and Web browser. Games, music player or RSS reader is a superfluous add-ons much more suitable to your smartphone than e-book reader.

Power

Readers with backlit draw more current than without. Amazon promises that the new Kindle allows 28 hours of continuous reading. PocketBook Touch Lux should be enough to read 30 books, and Onyx for a few weeks of use. Non-illuminated displays draw current only when you refresh – PocketBook Mini allows you to view 8000 pages.

Conclusion

was the best reader PocketBook Touch Lux. It has a backlit display and functional interface. Popular Kindle overcomes support for Polish buyers. The winner of awards Price / Quality is also a product PocketBook – Mini. It’s the cheapest reader test.
