Kobo (by Rakuten) continues to bet on the e-book market, where we have seen a strong impact on its growth, among other things thanks to the successful launch of the Kobo Elipsa, a revolutionary hybrid device whose sales have far exceeded expectations.
After taking an in-depth look at the Kobo Elipsa, the firm is committed to slightly renewing its range of products and thus presents us with the new Kobo Libra 2 the Kobo Sage, two products with improvements at the hardware level and that celebrate the arrival of Bluetooth technology. Let's take a look at this new Kobo presentation.
Kobo Wise
Kobo's new device hurts the 1200-inch E Ink Carta 8 display with a resolution that offers a density of 300 pixels per inch. The storage is going to an incredible 32GB (to spare for your tasks and content) running all this through a 1,8 GHz processor. In this way, it expands its connectivity catalog by adding Bluetooth for an audiobook system that Kobo will launch. early. We maintain the IPX8 water resistance as well as the characteristics of the Comfort Light PRO and TypeGenius style brand, announcing that the Kobo Stylus will begin to be sold separately as it will be compatible with this Sage.
Kobo Libra 2
Inheriting the previous design but with a 7-inch screen that maintains 300 pixels per inch with the same E Ink Carta 1200 technology. We have the same 32GB storage but it is powered by a 1 GHz processor because it will not be compatible with the Kobo Stylus. It is added, yes, the Bluetooth connectivity that will allow the management of audiobooks, as well as the IPX8 water resistance. This new product will sell for a lower price than the Sage despite looking directly alike in design.
