#KOBO AURA ONE SOFTWARE#

Kobo is also introducing a new software feature with the Aura One: the ability to change the color temperature of the screen. ThatвЂ™s a step up from the IP67 rating found on the companyвЂ™s previous water-resistant e-reader, the Aura H20. Kobo says the Aura One meets IPX8 standards, which means it can be submerged in 2 meters of water. The Aura One is just 6.9mm thick, and weighs 230 grams - thinner than an iPhone 6S, and not much heavier than a 6S Plus.ДЄnother really big distinguishing factor is the Aura OneвЂ™s water resistance. That size increase doesnвЂ™t come with any extra bulk. But the Aura One sports a 7.8-inch, 300ppi display, which is large enough to make it not just KoboвЂ™s biggest e-reader ever, but essentially the biggest high-resolution e-ink screen you can buy. While Amazon used 9.7-inch displays on some of the early Kindles, and more obscure companies like Pocketbook have sold e-readers in that size range in the past, the industry (Kobo included) has since settled on a standard of 6вЂ“7 inch screens. The first thing you notice about the Aura One is that itвЂ™s big for an e-reader. It will also be released that same day in a number of other regions like the UK, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Japan, and Turkey. It goes on sale September 6th in the US, Canada, and will cost $229 and $249 in those countries, respectively. Kobo has announced the Aura One, a big new e-reader thatвЂ™s thin, light, and water resistant.
