Design and screen
The back of Kobo Auro HD is specially designed, Vice President and General Manager of the company has for von; this is the Porsche of eReaders and is designed for people who want to start their eReading adventure.
The design of the Kobo Aura HD does not have many of the features except the back is like “Porsche’s eReaders.” Top edge arranged to help switch on / off, backlight button ComfortLight and signal lights. The bottom edge is the USB port charging and data transfer with a memory card slot. Besides, the machine does not support adding other hardware keys for using the touchscreen e-ink.
At the top of the machine, place the switch layout “sleep” pink, the light power, and the screen light button. Kobo Aura HD support screen lights can help users to read in low-light conditions.
The machine feels solid in use but are fingerprints, design, and screen contour unsightly. The device has 6.8 inch, 1,440 x 1,080 resolution, and 265 PPI using a 1GHz processor chip. The screen resolution of the largest in the series reading now, but users should not expect the screen eReader lines because they are using an e-ink screen. This type of screen for a long time loading page can not be as smooth as the tablet. In return, when looking at the screen, the user can feel like you are looking at a sheet of paper without feeling aches eyes as other electronic devices.
Kobo Aura HD is equipped ComforLight lights; this is the best lighting I have ever used on an e-ink device. If you put the Kindle Paperwhite beside Kobo HD Aura in a dark room, Aura HD will feature more.
Lighting simultaneously on Aura HD is on all four sides and not leaked light from the LEDs in the screen edges as on the Paperwhite. In the installation of Aura HD, the machine supports the light level, tested at the lowest level, Aura HD still weaker opponents Kindle Paperwhite.

Full users can download books online and then copy them to a USB connector. Another point of note is Aura HD can not read books if you purchased on Amazon Kindle.
