An 8 inch monochrome reader with a 1440 by 1920 Carta panel at 300 ppi, 32 GB of storage, IPX8 protection, Bluetooth for audiobooks and page turn buttons on the wide bezel. It arrived in 2021 near $260 and still holds a place as the middle size in Kobo's range, sitting between the 7 inch Libra and the 10.3 inch Elipsa. Kobo Stylus 2 support brings handwriting and annotation straight onto PDF pages.
The larger page pays off with technical books, sheet music and scanned documents that a 6 inch screen mangles. At roughly 240 grams it is heavier than a paperback, so long sessions in bed favour a smaller model. Firmware updates continue, but the hardware is several years old and the price rarely drops far.
