Read in the ideal light
ComfortLight is a breakthrough front-light that's perfect for reading in any lighting condition. The revolutionary ComfortLight is incredibly even and adjustable for a beautifully lit nighttime reading experience. And because ComfortLight illuminates the page, rather than emitting light outward toward your eyes, you'll enjoy a truly comfortable read. Curl up in bed, on the plane, or in your favourite chair without overhead lights. That's the pleasure of reading on the most evenly front-lit eReader on the market.
Designed for readers
When it came to crafting the perfect device for avid readers like yourself, Kobo designers took their inspiration from the same place as you: books. Kobo Aura HD was designed to fit perfectly in your hand, just as a hardcover does, for a truly immersive reading experience. And with a 1 GHz processor, page turns are seamless – just like flipping paper pages. It's the complete print experience, enhanced by the technological advances only possible in a Kobo eReader.
