Kobo launches new e-reader

New device set to undercut Kindle Voyage.


Kobo has announced the release of its newest e-reader – the Glo HD.

The device will be launched in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the US in May and will reach the UK in June.  Kobo says it is targeting 'committed print readers' who haven’t yet moved to digital.

Kobo have also released headline findings from research undertaken by Edelman Berland which show that 48% of respondents felt that e=readers make it easier to explore new reading genres.
