We knew it existed and also what it was called, but we didn't know anything about its specs, until now. A Dutch retail store has Mistakenly leaking data on the Kobo Aura One and its accessories, knowing not only in images but in data one of the eReaders that perhaps surpasses the others.
So it seems that This retailer has anticipated Michael Tamblyn's announcement, an announcement that we expected next week and that was undoubtedly going to be important.
The Kobo Aura One is an eReader with an 8-inch screen and a new design with plastics and rubber that make it waterproof. Yes finally the Kobo Aura One will be IP68 certified and with this it will be the replacement for the Kobo Aura H2O. The Kobo Aura One uses a Letter technology e-ink display with a resolution of 1872 x 1404 pixels, illumination, and 300 ppi.
The Kobo Aura One will not have a slot for microsd cards
What does that in addition to having a great screen, the eReader has a great resolution. The processor has not been specified but we know that it will have 512 Mb of ram and 8 Gb of internal storage that cannot be expanded. Like the latest Kobo model, the Kobo Aura One has no microsd card slot. The device measures 195mm x 138.5mm by 6,9mm and weighs 252 gr, something that is not bad for the size of the screen.
The price of this device is the best. The Kobo Aura One will cost 229 eurosA high cost compared to the basic Kindle, but the Kobo Aura One is still cheaper than the Kindle Oasis and will have a higher screen and resolution.
