![]() ![]() If you or your loved one is a news junkie, this feature is worth it. Pocket, an application that allows you to save and read news articles on your computer (integrated into Firefox or via plugin on other browsers) or on your phone, works extremely well.I suspect that, as time goes on, more libraries will be thusly increasing security making this particular feature on this device obsolete. However, the Montreal library does not have this requirement and I was able to successfully borrow a book from there. Well, the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec has a captcha on their website, which the Kobo is unable to parse, and I called the BAnQ to see whether there was another solution and no, unfortunately I have to send it the old-fashioned way through the computer if I borrow from them on Overdrive. I bought it (at least in part) for its interconnectivity with Overdrive so I can borrow from the library.Here are my observations on the device thus far: I see the black model is still unavailable but the sale is still on for the white model. Update: I ordered late the evening of Nov 24 and the order came this afternoon, not a bad turnaround. Kobo forma - $260 code "perkopolis" DOES NOT APPLY.Kobo Clara HD - $117 with code "perkopolis".Obligatory "this is my first post, please be gentle"Īs another poster mentioned, here's what else is on sale: They released another model recently (the Kobo Libra 2, which is not on sale) with the ability to play audiobooks, but it sounds like you need to buy directly from their store in able to play them on the device. I don't use the Rakuten cash back program, but perhaps there are additional savings to be had using it. The device went lower earlier this year at Shopper's Drug Mart/Pharmaprix, but only via Optimum points, not instant rebates. Only the pink sleep cover is currently available. Also of note: the discount does not appear to apply to sleep covers, but you can get those cheaper from other sites anyway. Of note: currently only the white model is available. With discount code "perkopolis" applied (10% off, $17.99 discount), the total comes to $162.00+tax-that's a total savings of $37.99. The sale is $179.99 currently ($20 discount from usual $199.99). The Kobo Libra H2O is Kobo's budget waterproof e-reader with a 7" screen and the ability to connect to Canadian libraries for free lending.
