The Kobo Aura HD is a new e-reader that was almost a year in development. One of the big hyping factors is the 1440×1080 resolution with 265 DPI. This e-reader is seriously the best in the business with its high-definition display. The Kindle Fire HD 7 has 1280×800 and the Nook HD has 1440×900. Starting tomorrow, this device will be available at a number of Canadian retailers to purchase.
Starting April 25th in Canada, the Aura HD will be available at Indigo, Chapters, Coles, Best Buy, Future Shop, Staples, and the Source. The price is poised to start at around $169.99 and normally comes with a one year warranty. If anything starts to go wrong with the device, keep your receipt and bring it back to the store. I recommend buying it from Chapters, as they often have the best return policy and normally swap devices out for you with little to no questions asked.
