The editors didn't like

  • There's no getting around the fact that $169.99 is getting up there for an e-reader
  • The slightly larger display means that some covers and cases meant for 6-inch devices won't fit the Aura HD
  • The Onyx model in particular was prone to attracting fingerpr
  • High-resolution display translates to smallish navigational text
  • Hefty and larger than competing e-readers

  • E-books more expensive

  • Écran superbe, bien défini, Rétroéclairage efficace, Performances adéquate en mode texte
  • Prise en main glissant sans le dos antidérapant, Performance avec les PDFs décevante
  • Kobo a réussi un bon coup avec l' Aura HD , une liseuse de bonne qualité avec un écran très agréable à regarder et des performances adéquates pour la lecture de livres textes. Si par contre vous aimez lire des PDFs ou autres documents plus intenses grap...

  • Définition hallucinante, Sensation de légèreté, Excellente prise en main, Reading Life, Ouverture aux ePub, Statistiques de lecture, Adapté aux gauchers
  • Prix élevé, Eclairage peu naturel, Clavier virtuel bancal, Navigateur Web
  • Bluffant ! Avec son Aura HD dotée d’un écran à la définition stupéfiante, Kobo se dote de la meilleure liseuse numérique du marché en prenant l’avantage sur la concurrence (Amazon, Bookeen, Sony...), à condition d'accepter d'y mettre près de 170 euros. Ag...

  • Pas de multitouch, Poids : 240 g, Pas de 3G, Pas de gestion de l'audio et donc pas de synthèse vocale, Pas de possibilité de changer les coques, Pas de prise chargeur
  • L'Aura HD franchit réellement un cap dans l'excellence du confort de lecture et se distingue par un éclairage frontal clair et homogène. Si la taille de l'écran (plus grand que celui des autres liseuses) contribue au confort de lecture, elle peut néanmoin...

  • Dotée d'une belle qualité d'affichage et d'un écran de taille confortable, la Kobo Aura HD ne devrait pas laisser les inconditionnels de la lecture indifférents. Son prix élevé de 170 euros (soit 40 euros de plus que la plupart des liseuses haut de gamme)...

  • Schermo HD Pearl Eink, ampia autonomia, retroilluminazione efficace e non stanca la vista
  • Confezione essenziale, touchscreen a infrarossi
  • Il Kobo Aura HD è, indubbiamente, uno dei migliori eReader presenti sul mercato, almeno per quanto concerne lo schermo. Forse, con qualche formato, le prestazioni non sono al massimo livello, pensiamo in particolare ai PDF, ma nel complesso si è comportat...

  • Kobo Aura HD ha la migliore illuminazione possibile sul miglior schermo di sempre, piacevole e godibilissimo per leggere, ma il software ha alcuni difetti che alla lunga possono annoiare e la qualità costruttiva non giustifica un prezzo sopra la media. C...
