Kobo announced its latest eReader, the Kobo Glo HD which offers the highest resolution screen available on the market, at the lowest price. It’s a light and ultimately portable way to carry an entire library of up to 3,000 eBooks.

With a 300ppi (pixel per inch) screen that delivers the clearest print-on-paper experience, a suggested retail price, easy registration, and a concierge service, the Kobo Glo HD is a great option for both print booklovers considering eReading and digital enthusiasts alike.

Kobo Glo HD will be available in black and will retail for $129.99 CAD/USD (MSRP)** online and in store, starting May 1 in Canada, the US, Australia, and New Zealand; May 22 in France; June 1 in the UK, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, and Spain. Beginning tomorrow, customers can pre-order Kobo Glo HD at Kobo.com in Canada, as well as at select retailers in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and can pre-order as of April 24 in the US at Kobo.com. 

With a world-class catalogue of more than 4.7 million titles at Kobo.com, ranging from romance to thrillers, biographies and memoirs to business books, non-fiction to literary fiction – Kobo has something for every Reader.

“Kobo Glo HD is the perfect device for the booklover who hasn’t made the jump to digital. Our surveys show there is a huge contingent of avid readers who simply haven’t tried digital because they love the print experience. We definitely agree there is a lot to love, but also know there are lots of occasions where eReading can actually be more convenient than reading on paper. With that, we know Kobo Glo HD is sure to please any type of reader with a print-on-paper-like screen resolution,” said Michael Tamblyn, President and Chief Content Officer, Kobo.
