Kobo unveils Aura 'high definition' ebook reader
Ebook seller Kobo has released what it is describing as a "high definition" e-ink based device.
The Aura HD's 6.8in (17.2cm) screen offers a resolution of 265 pixels per inch (ppi).
That puts it ahead of Amazon's bestselling Kindle Paperwhite which offers 212ppi on its 6in screen.
The launch comes at a time when ebook sales are booming, but some analysts suggest interest in black and white e-ink devices has started to wane.
Kobo is owned by the Japanese retail giant Rakuten which bought the company in 2011.
In the UK it has benefited from a tie-up signed the same year with bookseller WHSmith.
Kobo's chief executive said that this and similar deals with other bricks-and-mortar chains in other countries had helped his company enjoy rapid growth.
"Last year sales of e-readers for Kobo tripled year-over-year growing far faster than the competition and vaulting us into the number two spot worldwide," Michael Serbinis told the BBC.
１インチあたりのピクセル数がpaperwhteは２１２ピクセルだが、新しいｋｏｂｏ ａｕｒａは２５６ピクセルだという。
まあ、そんなことよりも売っている本がどうかという話や３Ｇ回線がついているかとかいう話だろう。
この程度の差では差にもならない。
ただ、狙ったら良かったのは防水、である。
スマホの防水はあまり必要ないかもしれないが、本はバスタブに浸かってとか、プールサイドで読むものだ。
こうした分野は日本は得意なので、kindleとｓｏｎｙが組めばいいのにと思うところ。
もっとも、アプリさえ入れればｓｏｎｙのアンドロイドで本が読める。
それで解決するといえば解決済みということか。
