What Makes Kobo and Kindle Stand Out from the Rest?,

By Sebastian Cork


When you finally realize you need to purchase an e-reader, you also get to find out that there are actually several things to consider before being able to enjoy the advantages. An e-reader is just like any other gadget brought about by the significant advancement in technology such as computers, phones, and tablets. Although it's really not a necessity to have one, book geeks and enthusiasts are going crazy for it, and that's for many different reasons.

That's why if you are indeed an avid reader of e-books, you must be familiar or at least have heard about the issue of Kobo vs Kindle. It's that kind of advertising battle between two leading devices in terms of which of them is really the best one. So far, these two are the most popular e-readers around and that are supported by the fact that gadget stores will almost likely have these two on displays. The main reason why the Kobo and Kindle are bestsellers is because they have captured the satisfaction of consumers who seek to get a device that gives them the most fun and valuable experience in e-reading. So without much ado, here's a look at what these two can offer and some brief comparison as well:

Amazon is the company behind the Kindle line of tablets and e-readers. The same company is the largest online shopping mall or retailer selling different kinds of consumer products. The Kindle device is widely recognized as the most popular because it owns the most number of sales. While there are so many other tablets with sophisticated features, the main edge of this one is that it is specifically designed for e-book reading. With the emphasis on maximizing reading experience, it has become the most preferred product for hardcore readers. But while there's a huge turnout of buyers when Kindle is displayed, one particular competitor is rapidly taking away Amazon's dominance. The Kobo is also getting popular at a fast pace today mainly because it dons practically the same features and specs to that of Kindle, but with a cheaper price tag.

Now Kobo can be considered as a practical alternative price wise. It's really cheaper and what makes it remarkable is that it does not take away the kind of quality present in the Kindle. So in the battle of Kobo vs Kindle, the former may actually win when the criteria is affordability. But then again, in choosing an e-reader, the price isn't the only thing to consider.

Of course, the price isn't just the factor since there may be other benefits to look out for. Contrastingly though, the price still carries the most weight. What this means is that consumers will most likely choose the inexpensive product over the more expensive one especially when both have practically the same built and feature.

In the end though, any price tag would be negated if you are someone who really values quality. It does not mean that the cheaper product has lower quality but there's always a great possibility that the e-reader with better specs, features, and material built will be a lot more expensive.
