Sorry if I should not have created a new thread - I visited the end of the other Kobo Aura thread, and frankly I'm a teensy bit afraid to post in it... :o
I just got my new Kobo Aura yesterday, and so far I love it. My Sony gave up some time ago, so I've been reading on my Android phone, and while I really like it, it is awfully small and hard on the eyes (I read a lot). So I finally could afford a new reader, and saw the Aura was coming out, and it was exactly what I was looking for - lighting, long battery-life (compared to a phone), and bigger real estate to read on. I've gotten used to the Kobo app, and like it, so it took me an hour or so to get used to the slightly slower page turn speed, and... it is simply a bit different. But I love it. I don't find it any heavy that an actual book. At first I found the shape of the back strange, but after half an hour of reading, I totally forgot about it and just naturally adapted to it. I love love LOVE the light, and the ease of adjusting it. Love it. Easy on my eyes.
Happy camper here.
One thing I can't quite find out on my own yet is if we can install apps on this? I'd love to put Comixology on it - I know, it's black and white, but I can live with that. I still have my phone. I'd also like to put the Kindle app on if possible. Is it possible? If so, do I download the app directly into the "My Computer- KOBOeReader" window?
I hope these are not silly questions. Thank you for the help... :thanks:
