[0]
hey guys jb here excited you're with us
[2]
and welcome to the channel it is more of
[4]
a community than a channel and i'd love
[6]
to hear your comments below as we talk
[8]
about all kinds of different things here
[9]
on the channel but today we're getting
[11]
into kobo this is my kobo format you
[13]
know i've loved this device
[15]
i love the form factor you know these
[16]
smaller devices like this ipad mini that
[19]
i'm that i'm experimenting with i just
[21]
like them because they just fit in your
[23]
hand well and uh the kobo forma
[25]
specifically feels like a book it's just
[27]
it's just the size of a book and i've
[28]
been a big fan of them well today they
[30]
announced they have two new devices
[32]
coming out and i wanted to share with
[34]
you uh what they sent over i do not have
[36]
the devices yet today is just the
[38]
announcement but we could be looking
[39]
forward to these devices from kobo and
[42]
we will discuss them so the first one is
[43]
the improved kobo libra h2o uh it's
[46]
packed for features it says full
[49]
waterproofing um it boasts hands-free
[51]
reading and kobo audio books with
[54]
bluetooth wireless technology a seven
[56]
7-inch
[58]
hd ink card at 1200 glare-free screen
[62]
it's got a light 32 gigs of storage
[65]
and then it is
[66]
the next generation of their popular h2o
[69]
you can get it in
[71]
many colors white and black with array
[73]
of colors for the the sleep covers are
[77]
red lavender slate blue and black so
[80]
it's pretty interesting device uh
[82]
something that's pretty cool
[84]
again it's in this zone of the kobo
[86]
forma but what really excites me is this
[89]
next device this next device is the kobo
[92]
sage and you can see it here the kobo
[94]
sage is designed to inspire and boast
[97]
every feature at your fingertips so you
[99]
can have the most luxurious reading
[101]
experience right has bluetooth wireless
[103]
technology so you can listen to your
[105]
audio books uh top of the line features
[108]
uh include sleep covers a power cover
[111]
and it also works with the kobo stylus
[114]
so the thing that i think that's
[115]
important to understand is you're going
[117]
to be able to take notes on this they
[119]
are trying to compete with the
[120]
remarkable too a little bit with this
[122]
device um the kobo sages are with our
[126]
world
[127]
class designer says it's an e-reader it
[129]
has an eight-inch screen so it's going
[131]
to be a little bit bigger so if we look
[133]
at the this screen here is seven right
[137]
so then if we go eight you're almost
[140]
you know the remarkable is right there
[142]
you can see where it ends so about an
[143]
inch off the remarkable but the screen
[145]
size is an eight inch screen so the ipad
[148]
mini if we go this way is how much is
[151]
about eight inches so it's going to be
[153]
just a little bit bigger than this ipad
[155]
mini right uh it says it's uh an 8 inch
[159]
ink cartridge 1200 glare free screen
[161]
it's got a nice light on it uh 32 gigs
[164]
of storage and then of course
[166]
it comes in black only but then the
[168]
covers are light green black
[170]
and a power cover in black so you got a
[173]
8 inch 1400 by 1920 resolution 300 ppi
[177]
screen
[178]
it's got a great display and again it's
[180]
going to have the ability to take notes
[183]
on it and i think that's the big thing
[186]
um is you can control the brightness the
[188]
blue light
[189]
you can go to dark mode but the big
[192]
thing is you're going to be able to do a
[194]
couple things on this that you can't do
[196]
uh with with other devices which is take
[199]
with their other devices which is listen
[201]
audio books and take notes and that's
[204]
what i'm interested in trying out can
[206]
what how is this thing as a notetaker
[208]
which is something i'm always interested
[209]
in but um they're the first one of the
[211]
first uh e-readers with bluetooth
[213]
wireless technology so you can see
[215]
there's some headphones here uh and it's
[218]
waterproof for up to 16 minutes so if
[220]
you want to relax in in the whirlpool or
[223]
something and want to take it with you
[225]
you can do that so you've got the kobo
[227]
audio books and you just play your
[229]
bluetooth headphones with it and you're
[231]
good to go and then they have some
[234]
sleep covers or the power cover
[237]
and the compatible stylus so the sleep
[240]
covers
[241]
and the power cover keeps you
[243]
luxuriously protected and the power
[245]
cover delivers on the go charging if you
[247]
need that so you can just slip the sage
[250]
into its power cover with the easy
[252]
magnetic attachment and it'll be charged
[255]
um from that battery the big thing is
[258]
again let's talk about this is the cobol
[260]
stylus which makes reading and marking
[263]
up non-fiction reads essays or
[265]
assignments a breeze it's got the
[266]
pressure sensitivity that making it's a
[268]
ballpoint pen and the stylus is
[270]
completely customizable choose the pin
[273]
type shade line size and eraser side
[275]
that search your needs the kobo stylus
[278]
lets you write directly on the page just
[279]
like a pen and paper the cobol sage
[282]
reacts how much pressure you apply so
[283]
there's pressure sensitivity easily
[285]
erase or highlight with helpful buttons
[287]
you can underline circle highlight when
[289]
an idea sparks you mark every ebook and
[292]
pdf
[293]
of your own and easily save organize and
[295]
find your annotations so being able to
[297]
use your own pdf means that you're going
[299]
to be able to make your notes so you can
[302]
access the limit this library as always
[304]
and then of course you can go to kobo
[307]
sage or from your library as i was
[309]
saying overdrive integration which
[311]
obviously only works in these countries
[313]
here canada the us uk but
[316]
it really helps you save a lot of money
[318]
by getting books uh online from the
[322]
local library and again i'm anxious to
[324]
see this device it just came out so it's
[327]
