Easy touch navigation on advanced E Ink display, Light, Advanced font, formatting controls, MicroSD slot
Lacks secondary features available in similarly priced readers, Battery life could be better
With excellent font and formatting controls and a trim body, Kobo remains a compelling e-reader choice, even facing an onslaught of new Amazon Kindles. ...

Fauxquilted plastic back sacrifices ergonomics. Touch screen is sometimes slow. Main page is utilitarian, illustrating only the books you are currently reading offering boring links to your library, the store and “Reading Life.” Weak battery performance.
Guter Einstieg Mit dem Kobo eReader Touch Edition macht man nicht viel falsch: Man kann, muss aber nicht beim Kobostore einkaufen (das Gerät zeigt zum Beispiel auch mit Adobe DRM gesicherte eBooks an). Das Gerät arbeitet flott und besitzt eine kontras...
Abstract: A video review of the Kobo Touch 6″ Pearl e-Ink ebook reader from the folks who bring you the Kobobooks.com ebook store. This $129 compact WiFi only ereader supports ePub including library book, PDFs, mobi and images. It has a web browser but not music pl...
Text not quite as crisp as Kindle 3, sometimes sluggish
The Kobo Touch is light, portable and decently priced for a touch screen ebook reader. However, it lacks audio, so you can't play music or audio books, and there's no 3G version. We're OK with that, but we do find the Kobo Touch slower than the Barnes...
Abstract: The reason why there aren't any buttons on the Kobo eReader Touch is because the eInk display is completely touch-enabled. This means you interact with the screen directly so there are no clumsy navigation bars or odd Next and Back buttons to deal with. T...
I’ve been lucky enough to use most if not all of the eReaders on the market and I have to say the Kobo eReader Touch Edition stands it’s ground. The small size, light weight and features such as bookmarks and dictionary are all great selling features f...
Light and small, Crisp 6-inch E Ink screen, Syncs with Kobo apps on other devices, Simple, distraction-free reading experience,
Occasionally slow and laggy, No hardware buttons for turning pages, Little customization, Setup requires a computer, Social features are more gimmicky than useful,
The Kobo eReader Touch Edition brings a nice touch interface and a small footprint to Kobo's ebook reader line, but its performance and design don't measure up to its best competitors. ...
Lightweight design, Comfortable soft-touch coating, Crisp Pearl E Ink touchscreen, Reads open EPUB format
No physical page-turn buttons, Touchscreen isn't as responsive as the competition, Limited font, line spacing, and margin choices, Wi-Fi connectivity issues, No notes and limited bookmarks, Need to connect to a PC to set up
The Kobo eReader Touch Edition is a major step up from the company's last device. The hardware is much improved, and the $129 price is attractive. However, the new Nook from Barnes & Noble Nook costs just $10 more, and it offers a more responsive touch...
Responsive touchscreen, Less page-turn flicker than before, Light weight,
Some echoes of previous page's display, Slow shopping procedure
The Kobo eReader Touch Edition, the company’s third e-reader, is its best yet. Flaws remain, but aside from the slow shopping, the eReader Touch Edition is responsive, has an easily navigable interface, and provides a lot of functionality in a tight s...
