Will Kobo Coop the Lead

Now comes the real battle. Who really builds the best ereader over the long haul? Not who has the best marketing, or who leverages best that first-to-market advantage. Wired weighs in with its choice: Kobo. Now that is surprising. How many of us have even considered buying a Kobo? Think back to cars. Was Ford an early apostle? Who had a Ford in the 1880's when the first cars were built by Benz and Daimler and Maybach. Absolutely noone. The first truly successful, longlasting automotive device (that was to force the replacement of horses and carriages) was Ford's Model T nearly 30 years later. So how does the venerable Wired.com come to its quick conclusion:"the (Kobo) Aura HD has the best screen on the e-reader market today. The display — a 6.8-inch, 1440 x 1080 screen with a density of 265 ppi — knocks the Kindle Paperwhite off its throne as e-ink emperor. Text appears crisper on the Aura’s display than on any of the other e-readers I’ve tested, not just the Paperwhite." And that's just for starters. Read all about the Kobo Aura HD.
