## Description

Kobo Wireless

Review: Basic E-Reader but not bad at all with a wonderful costumer service provided by kobo & Brownstem. - I recently purchased the kobo wireless e-reader from Brownstem through desertcart and I'm happy with it. I don't have much experience dealing with e-readers,but I'm learning.I now own two E-readers the kobo and another one I bought a while ago. The kobo was much more complicated to use and to get it to work was a little tricky comparing to my old E-reader. However,once you learn the how,everything becomes easy. And you can rely on the Kobo Customer Care for all the learning and the help you need.And in my case,I relied on the help of the Brownstem team as well with more than one matter. I received my kobo From Brownstem fast and even before the shipping set date.The package was sealed the E-reader was new.However,when I tried to set it and to make it work something was wrong. The kobo kept freezing and although I followed all the steps mentioned in the paper guide I never got the installers folder and the Kobo desktop application they were talking about.Moreover,the library was empty,no user guide as well as no e-books. An e-mail to the kobo customer care team solved all my problems. I was told that the kobo is usually empty.It has nothing on it.(unlike my old E-reader which had everything on it).You'll only get the user guide along with the e-books when you download the kobo desktop application and you log on to your kobo account. I downloaded the desktop application from the kobo site but it didn't work.So,then I was advised to Reset my kobo. After just doing that everything worked perfectly fine,no more freezing and I got all the missing stuff. The kobo is a simple,basic E-reader which does perfectly what it is designed to do.It's just for Reading. It's not a tablet and it is definitely not as sophisticated as a Samsung Tab. In my opinion it's a great E-reader especially for its price. It is small,light and easy to carry everywhere. I love the fact that I can use it to read outdoors in the daylight. It has access to 100 classics as a starter. The wifi is a good thing. And its battery life is great.No worries about charging it for a few days. I think it is a decent little E- reader if what you need is just to read anywhere without battery worries. At last,I would like to thank kamila from the kobo costumer team and Scott from Brownstem for their infinite help, assistance and patience.Kamila and Scott provided a prompt and courteous service. Both kobo and Brownstem have an excellent and great customer care service. Thank you kamila for your help. And thank you Scott for your kindness and generosity not only for giving me solutions to the product problems but for all the tips, info and advice you provided especially when knowing that you didn't have to.I'm glad I chose your company to buy my kobo from.
Review: Needs too many charges - I have a nook and an iPad but i like to read at the pool. Neither of these allow me to do this in the sunshine so a friend at the pool recommended the kobo reader. Although very affordable I THOUGHT it was touch screen and the small button to change screens or to turn pages is an annoyance and each day I try to use it after using for less than two hours it requires my computer to charge it back so Ivan read again. The user manual says battery life is ten hours. Iturn it off when I am not reading but still must charge it to get two hours of reading time. Guess I will save my money and get a kindle which has both the backlit screen and touch screen features.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Designed for Ereading
*by J***Z on September 9, 2012*

A well designed product that is small, thin and light weight. It displays books in black & white, offers two fonts, in five sizes. Therefore it is very simple to operate. Battery life is good for several books, not hours. A neat feature, it can display the book cover of the book being read while in the power off state. Designed for book readers who want to read books.
