Kobo Review | Pros and Cons of Kobo

- Good value. Kobo eBooks and eReaders are reasonably priced and you also have the option of downloading their free app to your desktop or laptop to access your library.
- Easy access. You have immediate access to any eBook or eMagazine purchases and you also have access to eBooks from your local library if you have a Kobo eReader.
Cons
- Price of devices. The Kobo Aura will set you back close to $200, although there are cheaper options available. Their cheapest model, the Kobo mini, is $99.95 and has a screen smaller than the entry level Amazon Kindle.
- Poor customer service. There have been some considerable complaints regarding Kobo's customer service and its absent or slow response to customer concerns and problems.
