Kindle paperwhite (1st) or kobo touch?
I am a newbie to read a book (first time i really like to read book is yesterday ) So i want to buy a handy device to read book, but i am confusing when choosing are: Kindle paper white (1st generation-used), kindle 3,4 (non-touch) and Kobo touch (905-used).
Which one is best for life battery and display, performance? Thank you. Sorry for my old question Last edited by mrhieu059; 04-03-2018 at 04:05 PM. |

The Paperwhite has a front-lit screen, the Kobo Touch doesn't. The Kobo Touch compares more closely to the Kindle Touch. The Paperwhite also has a higher resolution screen (212 ppi vs 167 ppi). So the Paperwhite would probably be a better choice IF you have access to .mobi or Amazon .azw3 books. The Kobo Touch is used with ePubs (.epub).

Thanks for this answer, so if no have a light and low resolution when we read it have look like a real paper or blurry and not clear than real paper. Because i want to reduce and saving my my parent money, i think i like to read epub. So Kobo touch and kindle 3 is cheaper. I change my mind to two option, please help me choice one. Thanks
