Kobo's Newest E-reader Hits the Shelves

Kobo, the Canadian e-reader maker, has launched the addition to its line-up today: the Kobo Aura. It is the latest attempt by the company to compete against Amazon's Kindle range in the e-reader market.

One of the device's chief points of difference is battery life, which at more than two months is longer than any other competitor.

Another is storage capacity. The Kobo Aura holds more books than other rivals with 4GB of storage, according to the company, and can expand up to 32GB with a microSD card.
