Kobo eReaders use front-light technology that diffuses light across the page, rather than illuminating it from behind. Backlit screens often cause eyestrain because they shine outwards, towards your eyes, and because they require glass screens that reflect light and create harsh glare.
ComfortLight PRO is a built-in reading light on Kobo eReaders that lets you automatically adjust screen brightness and reduces blue light exposure by changing the colour temperature of the front light. This helps to minimize eyestrain and improve reading comfort, especially at night.
Kobo eReaders support English, Catalan, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French (Canada), French (France), German, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Spanish (Mexico), Spanish (Spain), Swedish, Traditional Chinese, and Turkish.
E Ink is electronic ink that offers a glare-free, print-on-paper reading experience. In your Kobo eReader’s E Ink display, there are microscopic particles of black and white ink mixed in with each pixel on the screen. As you turn pages in your eBook, different ink particles move to the surface of your screen, appearing as text and pictures that look just like print on a page.
Since 2022, all new Kobo eReaders are made with more eco-conscious materials. Each features an exterior made with more than 85% recycled plastic, including 10% ocean-bound plastic. Specific materials vary by model. Learn more at kobo.com/eco.
