Kobo Unboxing

It's a few days late, but here are some pictures from the Kobo unboxing. It is a great little machine, and it's a great entry to the eReader world. It's a fine eReader, and works as advertised, and I hope that it will become more of a mainstream device. I've read about a book and a half on it, and I'm very satisfied in how it works. The selection of the Kobo book store is at least as good as the Amazon Kindle store, and often times better, so there will be no shortage of reading content. In addition, it also will handle ePub and Adobe Digital Editions, which will allow it to take ebooks out from the library (something that the Kindle likely won't do). I wholehearted give my recommendation for it.
Straight from Chapters: It arrived the day before they were sold in stores.

I thought that it came in very classy packaging.


The package came apart like a book in a dust cover


And then opened like a book


The Kobo in all its glory


It does have a nice, slim formfactor

And this brings us to the conclusion of the Kobo unboxing. Definitely a worthy gadget to add to my collection!
