CHAPTER 16: New Media: Reading Newspapers, Magazines, and E-books
Kobo
Kobo is an e-book reading device owned by Borders
and other investors. Just as with the Kindle and Nook
apps, you can register with an account and download
books directly to the Kobo app. It was formerly
known as Shortcovers.
Like the Kindle reader, the Kobo reader asks you first
to sign in to your existing Kobo Books account. All of
your existing Kobo Books will then be available for
reading.
Kobo uses a "bookshelf" approach similar to many
readers. Tap the book cover for whichever book you
wish to open.
Or, touch the List tab to see your books organized in
a list format.
You can also directly go to the Kobo store to
purchase books by touching the Discover or Browse
buttons at the bottom
However, Kobo also supports and sells standard
Epub and Adobe Digital Editions book formats in their
store. That means you may be able to read e-books
from public libraries and independent booksellers on
your Kobo, too. You can also take books you buy for
your Kobo and transfer them to another reader if you
prefer.
Touch the Settings button brings up other buttons
for seeing information about the book and adjusting
the page transition style and font. Touch any of the
buttons to make adjustments to your viewing.
