PRS T2 VS Kobo Glo (replacing PRS 650)
Hi! I decided to make a post here since i'm going all nuts in doubt picking one of the above. Not that I haven't the posts around, I have, I’ve been reading everything I can on both models and i just get more and more confused .
For me positive points about kobo: - Higher res. - Light. - Better design; About the Sony: - Better Dictionary; - PDF reflow; - Runs on top of android; Points to consider: -I don't know better the experience can be with the higher res. screen, specially considering i already read sometimes on my prs 650 on the smallest font settings and it was ok. - I was never much a dictionary worm, but the oxford American dictionary on prs changed that in me, I don't feel so confortable since the kobo's dic apparently have a lot less information (although i could just take quick looks over it on video reviews). Can anyone comment on this? - Fact that prs t2 can be rooted is a big plus, since it could run lots of stores app. (I'm sure right now it must not be the stable-est thing to do, but with time i guess it will become more stable? Should I hope for this?). I consider I have some experience rooting/swapping roms/kernels of android, since already did it in a xoom, kindle fire and 2 phones); Any general opnion to shed some light in my indecision? --------edit Forgot a important point: How's Japanese suport on european kobo glo/t2? Do any get any dictionaries or are able to display jpn text vertical? Last edited by vbkun; 12-21-2012 at 06:19 PM. |

Kobo's Japanese support is very good: same as on a Japanese model, including Japanese and Japanese-English-Japanese dictionaries. All models internationally run the same firmware.
However the English Merriam-Webster dictionary on the Kobos is really underwhelming. Hopefully they introduce a Kindle-like option to at least buy better ones. Last edited by stewacide; 12-22-2012 at 10:43 AM. |

The T2 is more responsive with quicker page turns.
