In the old days, when my wife bought a book, I could pick it up when she was finished. This limits the use of a book, and means that when my wife buys a book on her Sony e-reader, I can't read it on my Kobo (and visa versa). If you need more advanced features, you might have a 'problem'.Īnother problem is that most ebooks have something called DRM (Digital Rights Management). The problem with the Kobo application is that management of books is simple. You can pay with credit card, paypal, and iDeal (Dutch payment method). It does integrates with a relatively large e-book store where you can buy books. The provided e-book application from Kobo is sufficient for basic use.

Not as fast as I thought initially, but compared to the battery life of the Sony reader, the difference is significant (weeks instead of months). It does drain the battery faster if you enable the integrated light. The reason for choosing the Kobo Glo is that it has an illuminated screen (which you can turn on and off). My wife already has the Sony PRS-T2 e-reader, and this week, I bought the Kobo Glo for myself.
Since the bookcase in our living room is is reaching its maximum capacity, we're moving from traditional books to e-books.
