Kobo Touch 2.0 challenge the Kindle Touch – Tom’s Hardware

The new Kobo Touch 2.0 is about to land on the market, but the official announcement has not yet taken. It was the terminus of Chapters.Indigo, one of resellers of reference for Canada. The list price is $ 89.95 Canadian, so about $ 69 US excluding shipping costs.

It does not seem very revolutionary than the first set even though it is confirmed presence of panel E-ink Pearl 6-inch with touch technology . The dimensions are slightly less than the Kobo Glo HD although the design is similar, it comes exactly 154 x 114 x 91 mm – weight is 181 grams. Like its predecessor lacks the front lighting; some sources claim that there is no SD slot as the chassis of Glo HD not expected, but the information has to be verified. The resolution should be inferioriore 300 PPI, so do not go beyond the threshold of 800 x 600 pixels, and declared autonomy is 2 months . To confirm the technical data necessary to wait a few more details on the Canadian site that does not exist.

In practice Kobo Touch 2.0 aims to challenge the Kindle Touch offering more modern lines and a competitive price. Technologically not saying much. As for the distribution on the European and Italian probably have to wait some time.
