You can also change the size, weight and sharpness of each font to tailor them specifically to what is most comfortable for your eyes. Unlike trying to read on a color tablet or smartphone, you can read with a Kobo Mini or Glo in direct sunlight with no problems at all.īoth devices allow you to customize the page by choosing from 11 fonts including a font called Kobo Nickel which was created by Kobo especially for their readers. The touch screen displays are crisp, clear and glare free. Other than size, there are only a few differences between the Mini and the Glo. The back cover of the Glo isn’t interchangeable, but the reader can be ordered in 1 of 4 colors. Different colored back covers that can be purchased separately for $19.95.
