Unlike Kindle! Unfortunately not all libraries in NZ have overdrive (here's looking at you Matamata Piako) but if you're a member of the big ones in Auckland or Wellington etc it's brilliant.

Absolutely lovely design, easy to hold and easy to use. Absolutely lovely design, easy to hold and easy to use.

Great product, easy to use and setup. Have been using it for a month now every day. No need for a light to read at night, and you can borrow books for the library /overdrive to save money.

Works are expected. Easy on the eyes. Works are expected. Easy on the eyes.

Excellent product, very good battery life - pretty much idiot proof. Excellent product, very good battery life - pretty much idiot proof.

I bought this for my son who reads A LOT and it's so convenient. He can borrow e-books directly from Christchurch library (via Overdrive), either on the tablet or on our computer. The books download and return automatically. Saves a lot of trips to the library. Battery life is ok, I think he uses the back light a lot so we charge it maybe once a week.

To be honest I was looking to purchase a kindle initially. Checking out the specs and some cool advise from PBTech people switched me to Kobo. Main reason being it is much easier to use in conjunction with library in NZ. Kindle is not.
Apart from the product using PBTech Online was a breeze. To be honest I was looking to purchase a kindle initially. Checking out the specs and some cool advise from PBTech people switched me to Kobo. Main reason being it is much easier to use in conjunction with library in NZ. Kindle is not.

I bought this to replace my old kobo glo that was on its last legs (6+ years old!), here's hoping this one lasts as long. Love the new design as well.

This is a great little ereader, fits in a coat pocket, syncs with the local library (though I prefer to search with the Libby app on my phone, then sync rather than searching straight from the ereader.) The only improvement I could suggest is if the light had a night-amber mode, but just a detail really. The Nia case (bought elsewhere as PB tech didn't have any at the time) fits it nicely...
