Read comfortably, day or night

Kobo Glo's revolutionary ComfortLight illuminates the screen with a soft, adjustable glow so you can read any eBook any time of day under the perfect light — no lamp required.

ComfortLight is the right light

Whether you're a bedtime reader tucked in under cozy covers while your partner sleeps, or sneaking a late-night read in your most comfortable chair, Kobo Glo illuminates the story you're reading, not the room, so you (and only you) can enjoy an incredible reading experience even in the middle of the night.

Get Closer to your eBooks

Because Kobo Glo uses infrared touch technology, it doesn't need extra layers of material like Kindle PaperWhite does. This means that there's less material between you and your eBooks for the clearest, crispest display.

1) LED lights illuminate the screen with a soft glow, which the durable, anti-reflectivefront-light guide spreads evenly over the display.

2) The high-res Pearl E Ink screen has a high contrast ratio for ultra sharp text.

ComfortLight illuminates the page, not your face

Read whenever you like, even in the middle of the night. Kobo Glo's revolutionary no-glare ComfortLight technology directs light at the page, not your eyes for a completely comfortable reading experience. Plus, ComfortLight is fully adjustable so you can create your own perfect light. Say goodnight to eyestrain!

Experience the ultimate readability

Reading has never been more comfortable thanks to Kobo Glo's 6" high-res XGA Pearl E Inktouchscreen. The ultra-thin, durable screen displays each word at its finest thanks to E Ink and a 212 pixels-per-inch resolution. That means that tiny particles of ink are mixed in with every pixel so text pops off the page. Add to that a high-contrast ratio and you can see why Kobo Glo has an incredibly clear and crisp reading experience. It's just like print on paper, only better.

Play with your fonts

TypeGenius lets you choose from 8 font styles and 24 fontsizes, with adjustable weight and sharpness settings. Plus, you can set your own margins. It's easy to create your own ideal reading experience!

You can even select a font designed exclusively for Kobo by typography experts. It leaves more ink on the screen so words appear sharper and crisper than ever before.

A personal reading experience

Make each eBook your own with in-text annotations, dictionary look-ups, bookmarks, and notes. Reading something with a lot of pictures? Zoom in up to 200%, pan around images, or change page orientation all with your fingertips. It's how Kobo Glo lets you get really into your eBooks.

Curate your collection

Sort your eBooks alphabetically, by title, or by author name just as you would a physical bookshelf (sorry, colour coordinating isn't available on the Kobo Glo). Plus, it's super easy to keep track of your favourites with large cover images, multiple views, and custom lists. Now you just have to fill your library with eBooks!
