So many people nowadays are switching over from books to eReader devices for their convenience.   This Kobo touch has some great features too.  You can adjust font size and type, it has bookmarks to save your location, 6 inch screen with built in wifi and the screen is so sensitive that you can use a glove with it.

Here is a customer review for the Kobo Touch:

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I bought this back in August, but I absolutely love it! The screen is so crystal clear it is like reading a book. I bought an ebook version of a textbook for school and this was perfect! I was able to highlight important things and go back to whatever page/chapter I needed to. I can’t get over how much I do love my Kobo

The deal that Chapters Canada is having is a really good offer.  I checked the price of the same Kobo touch at various stores and the best price was Chapters with this sale.  I found it at Staples for $139, at The Source for $139.99 and at Walmart for $129.99.  In fact out of about 6 stores I looked at, Chapters having it on sale for just $119 was the best price.

Regular $199, the Kobo Vox is on sale for $179. Not only for reading, the Kobo Vox has a colour touch screen, can connect to Wi Fi to browse the Internet, check email, watch movies, shows and video, listen to music, and play games. It’s got 8GB of storage, or enough room for 8000 ebooks. You can buy an SD memory card up to 32GB if you need more storage.

A friend of mine got one as soon as they came out and she has nothing but good things to say about it, as does this reviewer

I purchased the VOX for my wife, and am pleasantly surprised at the capabilities of the unit. She enjoys the colour touch screen and the freedom it gives her to interact on Facebook, read a book and read her on-line magazines.

It’s a great “do it all” device – perfect if you want to do more than just read. If you are wanting a tablet and an ereader, this is a great idea!

The Kobo Vox will ship for free.

I recently posted a deal on the Sony eBook readers from Dell Canada, which are slightly more expensive than the Kobo. They have a very similar specification though. I know some people can be pretty brand loyal and like to stick with their favourites – I love the Sony readers.

Since fellow Mooser, Avigayil, turned me on to Gelaskins, my ipod and laptop are both gorgeously outfitted with them. I don’t (yet) have a Kobo, but if I did, you betcha I’d be putting one of their skins on it, and Indigo is making it easy to do so. At Indigo the above snazzy skins are only $9.98, regularly $19.95.

Red and grey are the colours available. I like the advice printed on this skin: “Keep calm and carry on.”

I think that’s a great price for a decent eBook reader.

Avigayil, my co-author here on Bargainmoose has a Kobo reader, and she really loves it. Right now, she’s dragging it round New Zealand somewhere, loaded up with a ton of books for when she’s relaxing.

Don’t forget that Kobobooks.com has a section where you can download loads of classic eBooks for free. There are 289 titles in there, and I am sure you will recognise some like Bram Stoker’s Dracula, The Jungle Book, Pride & Prejudice,  or The Count of Monte Cristo (I tried this one last week but couldn’t make it past the first page – I wasn’t in the right frame of mind).

I read The Island of Dr Moreau last week, it’s a free title and I downloaded it to my iPad. I am a sci-fi fan, and HG Wells has always been a favourite. It was a very good read, but I do find that the story-telling in some of his books is now a little dated. There are rarely any women in his books! I found it interesting that in the latest movie rendition of The Island of Dr Moreau, they had to add a female love interest in there…

Check out the Kobo eReader at Chapters. Originally $149 we saw it dip down to $139 a month ago. Now the Kobo eReader will only cost you $129, and comes with free shipping. My guess is they are trying to price the Kobo just a little lower than the Kindle as an incentive to individuals looking for an eReader.

I like the Pearlized Lilac. Purple is certainly one of my favoured colours. I have the first gen. in white and then gave it a skin from Gelaskins to give it some umph. It is great for long trips. I think I will be bringing both it and my iPad to New Zealand in June. The hubby can read books on one, and I on the other. What else do you do on a 17 hour flight?

Sale on till 9th, May 2011.

Chapters has lowered it’s price for their wifi Kobo eReader. The price was $149, and you can now purchase it for $139 ($10 off) with free shipping. You get a choice between gray, silver, onyx or lilac.

I have  Kobo 1st Edition and it is a great device. So useful for relaxing your eyes and reading your favourite books. I have a sexy Gelaskin on it to express my style and a sweet Roots leather slip cover. I have read several books on it already, and the space it saves on my shelves is priceless.

It says it is Sold Out however I could add it to my cart and go through checkout! From what I heard they are on backorder so that might be why you can still checkout with one, it may just take a bit to come in.

If you prefer the black you can get it for only $89.99 with free shipping.

I have a first edition Kobo eReader, and am jealous of this insanely good price. The only difference really between it and the second edition is the second edition has bluetooth and more colour options. I really enjoy my Kobo, it has a ton of books on it and I love taking it on long trips, it is a great companion to keep boredom at bay.

Bargainmooser Frank has emailed us to tell us about an in-store deal from Chapters Indigo. They are selling the original Kobo ebook reader for only $99, while quantities last.

Here’s what Frank says about this offer:

The original Kobo eReader (without wi-fi) is now just $99 while quantities last but it’s only available in store and selection will vary.  May be a good deal if you don’t mind connecting with USB to transfer ebooks.

And the terms and conditions from the email:

While quantities last. $99 price applies only to non-Wi Fi Kobo eReaders in porcelain and black. Does not apply to Kobo Wireless eReaders. Valid in-store only.

My fellow Bargainmoose author Avigayil has the Kobo ebook reader, and I believe she’s very happy with it. She made a few comments about it on the last Kobo Reader post. I have the Sony ebook reader which is quite a bit more expensive. But I haven’t see the two side by side to compare features.

I have a Kobo Reader that I took on my flight to Toronto/Hamilton and I think it aids in saving sanity. I like reading on it… it doesn’t give me a headache and it is so easy on the eyes. The back of the device feels so nice and the entire thing is very light. I just bought my first ebook a week ago for around $4.50 for it: Hannibal. That is around used paperback price (I know because I had bought the used book a few years ago).

If you are shopping in store check out the 50% off new releases happening this weekend only. That deal is exclusively in store.

This weekend only the Kobo eReader is on sale! You save $21 (or approx. 14%) on the Kobo eReader this weekend. Price dropped from $149 to $128. Free shipping included.

Kobo Review by Avigayil:

Last night I was at Chapters and spent a good 20+ minutes playing with the Kobo:

The main features I like about the Kobo are how easy it is on the eyes, how light it is, and really how simple it is to navigate. That combo make it a really nice eReader. I suffer from migraines so easy on the eyes is of a primary concern, and I honestly didn’t feel like I was looking at a screen the entire time I was reading. Though securely tethered the Kobo is VERY light, a big bonus if you want it to be transportable. Navigation, heck, hide the manual and I am sure a 1/2 hour with the Kobo and anyone can have the navigation and features figured out.

The main features I don’t like about the Kobo is how I can’t read ‘landscape’ as in lay the Kobo on it’s side and have the page rotate. I also am not too fond about how the screen goes kinda odd when you ‘flip’ pages. I also don’t like it doesn’t support manga, but what eReader does? That is still up the road while.

I could see the acquiring of a Kobo actually getting me to read more. Though I am a manga reader primarily I did enjoy going back to my old favourites like Sherlock Holmes and Aesop’s Fables while on the reader, it made reading them more enjoyable. Also I am a minimalist and I could see this being an absolute delight to stick books into, and not have shelves of books in the living room.

The price is a real winner too. At $128 right now I wouldn’t feel like I am breaking my pocket book for such a swank new toy. (I want one).

So thats it for me, maybe someone who owns one of these has something to add?
