The Kobo eReader is an e-reader produced by Toronto-based Kobo Inc. The company's name is an anagram of "book". The original version was released in May 2010 and was marketed as a minimalist alternative to the more expensive e-book readers available at the time. Like most e-readers, the Kobo uses an electronic ink screen.[1] The Arc tablet series, released between 2011 and 2013, was based on LCD technology instead.[2] For a history of Kobo to 2018, see The History of Kobo and How They Changed the E-Reader Market[3]

Kobo eReader[]
Kobo Inc. announced its first e-reader on 24 March 2010, at the CTIA show.[31] The device was officially released on 1 May 2010.[32] It had expandable memory, holding an additional 4 GB via an SD slot and limited wireless connectivity via Bluetooth to select Blackberry wireless devices. It was available in black or white and came preloaded with 100 public domain books.[1] It was manufactured by Netronix Inc.,[33] a Taiwan based company with factories in Taiwan and China.[34]
The pricing strategy of the original Kobo, at US$149, was to rival the Amazon Kindle, which was US$110 more expensive.[1] However, in June 2010, just after the Kobo was released, Amazon dropped the price of the Kindle to US$189.[35] Its pricing strategy in Australia was similarly aggressive where it was available for A$199, again A$100 less than the Kindle.[36] Borders Australia said that they hoped to sell high volumes of the Kobo to drive up sales at their e-content store.[36]
The original Kobo received a mediocre review from CNET, which said that, while the Kobo was compact, lightweight and affordable, the lack of Wi-Fi or 3G made it outdated, especially when there were similarly priced eReaders available with those features.[35]
In December 2010, the original Kobo's feature set was updated with a firmware update to more closely match the Wifi model.[37]
Kobo Wi-Fi[]
A new model with Wi-Fi capability was released on 15 October 2010. It included an improved processor, screen, and new colour choices (porcelain/metallic silver, porcelain/pearlized lilac, and onyx). The SD expansion had been improved to claim a capacity for up to 10,000 books with a 32GB SD card.[38] Other improvements included a longer battery life and a built-in dictionary.[39]
Like the original model, the Wi-Fi model came pre-loaded with 100 public domain books.[38]
Kobo Touch[]
The Kobo Touch was released in June 2011.[40] It introduced an infrared 6-inch touchscreen interface. Other improvements compared to the Kobo Wi-Fi included an E Ink Pearl screen, a faster processor capable of PDF panning, 802.11n capability, and reduced size and weight.[41]

Other improvements compared to the Kobo Touch included a built-in "ComfortLight" LED light, a faster processor (1 GHz), twice the onboard storage (4 GB), and twice the battery life (estimated at two months).
Kobo Aura H2O[]
The Aura H2O, released on 1 October 2014, is the second commercial waterproof e-reader. It has an upgraded version of the Aura HD's 6.8-inch E Ink Carta display with a resolution of 1440×1080 with 265 ppi.[47] While its screen is improved over the Aura HD, it contains the same processor, on-board storage, and software as the Aura HD, and has dust/waterproofing – certified to be immersed for up to 30 minutes in up to 1 meter of water with its port cover closed.[48]
