Kobo wireless eReader We resisted switching to eReaders because we like the smell and feel of books. However, when travelling, it is difficult to carry 5-6-7 books, which we often did in the past . . . you know, the novels about the country you are visiting, current bestsellers, guidebooks for various areas. It got heavy. Easily connect via Wi Fi or USB to access over 2.4 million books, newspapers and magazines from the Kobo Store. Also borrow and read books from your local library. The Kobo eReader Touch will be the first eReader to be available in multiple languages and will offer a completely local experience, including content, recommendations and the Kobo store. Currently available in English; with French, German, Spanish, Dutch and Italian coming soon.
