@polkadot1213 forget about the sony and the kobo, buy a nook or kindle
Would you recommend this eReader or the Kobo touch eReader? I’m torn between the two
Perfect review! Thank you.
I really wish they stuck to the Aluminum body, as it gives it such a solid feel.
I really wish Sony had done more with their software, and also allowed for folders, playlists for music, etc – but I’ve managed a lot of work-arounds for that stuff. All in all, after dealing with a steep learning curve I now have a device that has made my morning commutes wonderful. I especially like the multi-language support since I’m living in a francophone community and using the device to really polish my French. If anyone has any questions, feel free to send me a message.
I bought one and love/hate it as well. I’m leaning a lot more towards loving it as I learn to deal with it’s quirks. The device is such a perfect size, and with the standard cover it slips easily into my back pack without a second thought. I’ve had to use some third party solutions to manage content (Calibre for managing books, Open Office for creating good PDFs). I’ve made a personal calendar/appointment PDF, bus schedule thingy, and exported a lot of my own writing for proof reading.
Ok, I bought one. I’m both loving and hating it. It’s the perfect size for reading, very ergonomic, the case is a must have, and listening to music while reading is cool. The down side, for me, is that I can’t create folders on the device for organizing my stuff, and so far it won’t handle links in my pdf documents that link to other pdf documents - I like doing that for jumping around reference material. Links to the web work fine.
Thank you so much for the review. I’m having a hard time making a choice because I want to do a lot of proof reading/annotating while I commute. The iPad seems best for annotating, but is too big for commuting. The kindle products seem lacking when it comes to annotating. This may be the best product for me.
wonderful review. Thanks
@RobynHode8 *ad supported* $79. Tack on another $40 to be truly competitive with the Sony Reader. Otherwise you’re just comparing apples and oranges.
@RobynHode8 but you can go on the internet too
Thanks for the review! I found it to be very helpful.
I still like the Kindle 3 and $79 Kindle method of turning pages. It requires almost no movement of the hands–just minimal finger movement.
So will I be able to add books from my computer to the new sony reader?
Next generation: The Sony PSG-1 Reader…
@Dar70 Thanks for the answer. I’ll get one when I have time to go to the boarder…
@omgtkseth Yes. You can get it at Target or Best Buy here in the US. Some Best Buys have them on display.
And release date? Is it already out?
Excuse me, but if you search a word in spanish in the dictionary, will the result be a definition in spanish? Or a definition in english? Or just a translation? I would like if you could have actual dictionaries in the rest of the languages, not just translating dictionaries.
@azhag01 Yes, please explore all PDF scenarios (like you did with the K4 review), e.g. large files and side-by-side comparisons between page switching on K4 and SonyReader.
Can’t wait for the PDF review, this may just be the best ereader to read research papers!
Would it be possible to try a 2-columns PDF with figures by the way?
Great video ! Thanks a lot
great review, thanks. Definitely going to pick one of these up when they come out.
Waiting for the PDF!!!
is it only black and white?
the scrolling and zooming options aren’t smooth at all. I think i’ll wait a few more months before buying this, maybe the technology will evolve a little…
Do NOT get a Kobo touch… I’m warning you! Listen, I went out and bought a shiny new black quilt one today, brought it home, and at first it was fine, but later it just stopped responding. It is very slow, and although it is a very well-rounded ereader, please do not buy it.
I’ve been after an ebook reader and after watching this review I’m very tempted to get this one.
This is a very old demo there has been 2 firm ware updates for free when charging and it offers full translation, dictionary notes and ad font types. Go to Kobo web site for up to date informtion. Great little reader fit’s in my pocket to carry (just fits) and have found that I read more books than I did with the hard covers. LOVE IT !
Good review
how big is that
nice vid man
Wonderful review. Thank you very much.
on the kobo vox you can get books from amazon aswell as the kobo store can you do this on the kobo touch?
I love my Kobo Touch to death! With the new software updates you can do so much more than what the review shows. Nearly every downfall he’s mentioned has been fixed with the new software update so line spacing can be changed, there are more font typefaces and you can even add your own typefaces from your computer!
Fantastic little piece of technology. As a student, it makes it a lot easier to carry around PowerPoint lecture notes (converted to PDFs) for on-the-go studying.
Slow the heck down and let the viewer actually see what you are trying to show us before wizzing on to the next page. Also, how about planning your review before you start filming? That would give a list of things you need to cover. Every video on you channel has the words “I guess I forgot to shot you that”.
Overall, pretty good, but at times frustrating for the viewer.
wow this guy is a genius….the guy who started this video i like him ^_^ so good at his job…..i’m only 11 and i like kobo i like this guy who did this video too…. very cool guy
no notes, but sudoku. brilliant -_-

If you want to read lots of pdf documents, I would not recommend any ebook reader with a 6” display. Although it is possible to read pdfs it is no fun on the small e-ink displays. A tablet computer would be better in that case.
IF it comes to pdf, the Sony PRS-T1 is better than the Kobo Touch. You can pinch zoom pdfs and the Sony has got pdf reflow.
this things are great but they need ti get cheaper
Good review, informative and well done. Very valuable service. Thanks!
is all new kobos the new version with all fonts? and the sketch pad?
You should do a comparison between Bookeen Odyssey and the Kobo touch. Would be very interested to see how they compare.
Thank you for your informative and straightforward review! This is how it’s done!
some people just know how to review an item
excellent
thank you
dos it allow you to download the kindle app on it
@blankets1453 yes
Would anyone recommend this ebook reader for a student who needs to read alot of pdfs?
This is a very attractive looking eReader. Much better looking than the square Nook Touch and the Kindle 3.
