Do you have some great books picked out to read over the summer months? Are you the type of person who likes to lounge pool side or on the beach and get lost in the pages of a great book or novel?
These days many people have swapped traditional hard copy books for e-books that can be read on iPhones, iPad, Nook or Kindle. I read books from time to time on my iPad but I’m an old fashion person. I like traditional books.
Have you heard of the Kobo eReader? Kobo is a global leader in eReading with over 3.6 million users in over 100 countries worldwide. They recently launch a new Kobo eReader Touch Edition. With a revolutionary new touch screen experience, Kobo makes eReading easier than ever and makes it even more accessible to people around the world. Created for readers by readers, the beautiful new design provides the ultimate in reading comfort and is the most portable eReader – thin and light, it travels easily anywhere.
The Kobo eReader Touch Edition will be available at leading retailers across North America including Indigo (www.indigo.ca), Best Buy (www.bestbuy.ca), Walmart (www.walmart.ca), and Borders (www.borders.com) for an MSRP of $129.99 USD and $139.99. The new Kobo eReader Touch comes in an array of new colors and debuts with a line of stylish new accessories, making it the perfect gift. As of today, the first generation Kobo Wi Fi goes to a new everyday low price of $99.99 USD and $109 CAD.
Kobo pioneered the affordable eReader in May 2010, and now after record sales, Kobo introduces it’s newest edition to deliver an experience that is easy and enjoyable for everyone, everywhere, now more portable and comfortable and available in 6 languages.
Kobo has a catalog of over 2.3 million books, newspapers and magazines and over 3.6 million users worldwide. A reading lover’s dream, the new device boasts storage of up to 30,000 books with expandable memory. WOW! Imagine having 30,000 books on one place available to you 24/7?
Kobo also offers FREE eRearding apps so that you can read eBooks on just about any device – smartphones, tablets, computers, eReaders, and more.
I checked out the books available at the Kobo website (www.KoboBooks.com) and I found that they offered current New York Times Best Sellers. I like that they offer The Help, Water for Elephants and Julia’s Kitchen Wisdom, three of the many books that I would like to read (I have The Help. I’m currently in the process of reading it).
Kobo has many FREE ebooks and plenty of books under $4.99.
Kobo would love to give two lucky readers a $25.00 eGift Card to Kobo so that they can purchase some great ebooks from Kobo to enjoy this summer (and beyond!). Thanks Kobo.
