But there’s no doubt that ebook readers (also called e-readers) make life easier-they might just make you read more too. Other than these two things, it is very easy to read in all lighting settings, and I enjoy reading using the KOBO.I dearly love a paperback book that I can bend, touch, smell, and display on my bookshelf when I’m done. It can feel a little slow at times, especially rendering pdf files where the page is a picture of the text and not made up of electronic characters, and it does render images in standard epub format a bit small at times. Calibre has a plugin system, and a 3rd party plugin is available that will convert a standard EPUB format to KePUB when you transfer the book to the e-reader. In particular, it fixes an issue where images in standard EPUB format don't scale to the size of the page. One thing I found is KOBO does have its own EPUB format that it uses to optimize display of books. It will also transfer the books to the Libra H20 and update its internal database. Has very nice features for editing meta data and organizing my books. So far it has been a great e-book manager. I knew about Calibre, but had never used it. I use the USB port to transfer books I've downloaded to my computer, and to charge the Kobo.

When asked what I wanted for Christmas this year by my wonderful girlfriend, I sent her a link to the KOBO Libra H20. I wanted not only and e-ink display, but also one that ran a linux operating system, and a reader that I could potentially put a different Linux distribution on, or modify myself somehow. A tablet would probably be a nice compromise, but I really wanted to try out an e-ink display, and didn't want the potential distractions of a more multi-purpose device. If I don't keep my finger on the screen, it will go blank and then I have to make sure and press the power button to bring the screen back to life before it locks. Reading on my phone is doable, but is very annoying. I have wanted an e-ink based e-reader for a while. Summary: Rho`n talks about his new KOBO Libra H20 e-reader
