It might make good business sense for Kobo to offer a product that costs them less to make but it’s just going to push more customers away than it is going to bring in. You can’t help but be disappointed with the Aura Edition 2 when it’s replacing a better model. Having about double the battery life is a big advantage as well, and despite complaining about the downgraded screen text is perfectly legible and easy to read.īut there’s no denying the fact that the Kobo Glo HD had a better display, and the device was priced only $10 higher. The compact size makes it easier to take with you places because it’s more pocket-sized and not as heavy. I found it difficult to use the Kobo Aura Edition 2 with the far superior Kobo Aura One on hand, but the smaller device does have a major advantage when it comes to portability. Lower resolution screen not as sharp, has sort of a rough, dingy look compared to ereaders with 300 ppi, but the difference isn’t that big.Not going to draw any interest whatsoever from Kindle owners when it has the same screen as the Paperwhite 2 and it sells for the same price as the Paperwhite 3.No distinguishing characteristics it has nothing new to set it apart from existing and older Kobo models.The infrared touchscreen is a bit more sensitive and accurate than Kobo’s capacitive touchscreens.Despite the lower resolution screen text looks fine and is easily readable, and the advanced font options are a plus because you can make the text bolder and sideload additional fonts.The smaller size makes it more portable than the Aura One, and its battery life is rated at twice as long.If you want to see a list of all the software features check the Kobo Aura One review because the only difference is the OverDrive support for downloading library ebooks directly (the Kobo Aura 2 supports getting free library ebooks too but they have to be sideloaded instead). The software is 95% the same as Kobo’s other ebook readers, including the Kobo Aura One that I just reviewed. I’ve decided not to post the usual long in-depth review of the Kobo Aura Edition 2. Otherwise the specs are identical, minus the microSD card. The one difference is it had an E Ink Pearl screen and the Aura 2 has a Carta screen. It basically has the same exact specs as the “new” Kobo Aura and it was released way back in 2012. In fact it’s a downgrade in more ways than one because it doesn’t have a memory card slot like the original. The new model has neither of those qualities. The thing that set the original apart was the fact that it had a premium design and a flush glass screen. The materials used are also sourced from Germany and other EU countries.Not only that but the Kobo Aura is a lot more like the original Kobo Glo than it’s like the original Kobo Aura.
