Indigo Books & Music launched their dedicated KOBO eReader at Indigo, Chapters and select Coles stores nationally and online at www.chapters.indigo.ca.
Priced at just $149, the stylized, affordable, eInk based reader provides significant value and functionality for the booklover. The sleek device comes pre-loaded with 100 classic books so Indigo customers can start reading right out of the box, or they may choose to easily access the catalog of over 2 million eBooks, including today's bestsellers, newspapers and magazines through USB or wirelessly through Bluetooth.
The Kobo eReader is just 120mm x 184mm x 10mm thick and weighs only 221 grams, just slightly more than an average book. With its efficient battery, the Kobo eReader will last up to two weeks on one charge, or up to eight thousand page turns.
