Kobo is about to undercut a lot of e-readers on the market with a its new high-resolution Glo HD costing only $129.99/€129.99 (£109.99 in the UK).
The new e-reader features a backlit 6″display, and its 300 ppi resolution would put it in league with Retina-class displays on smartphones for sharpness. That should theoretically make the device appear more paper-like than lower resolution displays.
It’s closest competitor would be Amazon’s Kindle Voyage, but that device costs $70 more.
Of course, there’s more to a ereader than just resolution – contrast, refresh rate and reflectivity all matter, not to mentions features apart from the display – but Kobo’s newest device is at least compelling on paper.
The e-reader will be available from May 1 in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, May 22 in France, and June 1 in the UK, Italy, Netherlands, Germany and Spain.
