Kobo Glo and Original Sleep Cover

Brand new sealed items

Perfect for reading in bed or when travelling

The Kobo Glo is Wi-Fi-enabled. Overall, its design is pretty straightforward, even slightly generic (at least from the front), though its textured back panel, which has a sort of argyle pattern.

The unit has no physical page-turn buttons. You turn pages and navigate the device fully by touch. The Glo uses IR-based touch technology. It works well; the screen is generally responsive to touch.

At the top of the device you'll find a power button, as well a dedicated button for turning the ComfortLight on and off.

The Glo has a couple of ports: a Micro-USB connection at the bottom of the device for charging (you get a cable in the box but no AC adapter) and transferring files, and a microSD expansion slot on the left side of the device for adding more memory beyond the 2GB of internal memory (1GB usable for storage). The Glo accepts cards of up to 32GB.

There's no headphone jack, however, since the Glo, like all of the latest e-readers, leaves out any sort of audio option.
