Key Features
and/or Benefits
Kobo Glo's revolutionary ComfortLight illuminates the screen with a soft, adjustable glow so you can read any eBook any time of day under the perfect light — no lamp required. It directs light at the page, not your eyes for a completely comfortable reading experience. Plus, ComfortLight is fully adjustable so you can create your own perfect light.
Reading has never been more comfortable thanks to Kobo Glo's 6" high-res XGA Pearl E Ink touchscreen. The ultra-thin, durable screen displays each word at its finest thanks to E Ink and a 212 pixels-per-inch resolution. That means that tiny particles of ink are mixed in with every pixel so text pops off the page. Add to that a high-contrast ratio and you can see why Kobo Glo has an incredibly clear and crisp reading experience. It's just like print on paper, only better.
TypeGenius lets you choose from 8 font styles and 24 font sizes, with adjustable weight and sharpness settings. Plus, you can set your own margins. It's easy to create your own ideal reading experience. Users can even select a font designed exclusively for Kobo by typography experts. It leaves more ink on the screen so words appear sharper and crisper than ever before.
Users can browse their library, look up words, and switch between screens quickly, easily, and intuitively with Kobo Glo's highly responsive touchscreen. This level of responsiveness is powered by an incredibly fast processor, designed to keep up with every Kobo reader, no matter the reading pace, each page turns smoothly at the tap or swipe of a finger. Kobo Glo actually beats the already incredible Kobo Touch with a 20% faster processing speed. Plus, Kobo Glo is so lightweight you'll almost forget you're holding a device.
The Kobo Glo allows the reader to choose their personal eReading style from a variety of four different colors. Kobo's signature quilted backing is available in Pink Sunset, Blue Moon, Silver Star, and Black Night. The soft backing makes the reader forget they're holding a device.
