E-Reader Showdown: Kobo Forma vs Kobo Aura One
The Kobo Forma is the latest e-reader on the block, set to shake things up in North America. Let's dive into this device's flashy features and see if it's worth the upgrade from the 2016 classic, Kobo Aura One.
Display: The showstopper here is the Kobo Forma's 8-inch Mobius Carta HD display, boasting a crisp 1920 x 1440 resolution and 300 PPI. Its lighter weight of 197g makes it a breeze to hold, a significant improvement over the Aura One.
Power: Under the hood, you'll find a 1 GHZ Freescale IMX6 Solo Lite processor and 512MB of RAM. It's available in 8GB and 32GB variants, but there's no SD card slot.
Lighting: Enjoy a nightly read with the Forma's front-lit display and ComfortLight color temperature system. It sports 17 LED lights for even light distribution across the screen. Both white and red LEDs are on board for your reading enjoyment.
Waterproof: Dive into your ebooks with the Forma's IPX8 waterproof rating. Take it to the beach, bath, or pool; this e-reader can withstand complete submersion for up to 60 minutes.
Gyroscope: One unique feature is the Forma's built-in gyroscope, which automatically switches the screen orientation 360 degrees. This facilitates comfortable reading for both right and left-handed individuals, and you can lock the orientation if you prefer.
Performance: Kick back and immerse yourself in the world of ebooks as you experience fast page turns and a responsive touchscreen. Enjoy weeks of battery life, depending on usage.
